My GD is a junior at Rice. Not an introvert, but she is a “geek” according to friends’ parents. Not a beer drinker. It’s hard to judge by her experience because her first 2 years were definitely impacted by Covid even though she was fully on campus both years. She is a big fan of Rice and has had wonderful opportunities there. She has been on the O-Week staff each of the past 2 years and she would fit the description by @txfriendly of the O-Week staffers with lots of empathy. She’s a girl with a big heart. She’s also been on her residential college board, bringing the same qualities to their planning. In general, the student body seems to be more laid back and not activist, so there seems to be space to find your own space and your own group. Overall she’s been delighted with her experience at Rice.
