I’m really interested in Rice at the moment. Reasons include its diversity, its prestige and rank, its location and weather, and the fact I have family in Houston.

What’s it like? Imagine that I were a friend. Would you suggest that I attend Rice?

I like academic challenges. I hail from a hard high school in which I have labored for nearly four years. Although these four years have been hard, I have matured tremendously, so I’m looking for a college that’ll keep forcing me to grow (academically, and socially).

I also like diversity. My HS is very diverse, as are my friends. Diversity is simply something I value. I can’t exactly ascribe a reason. Nonetheless, I appreciate it. Are the people at Rice outgoing, friendly, and willing to step out the “boundaries”?

Finally, what’s the weather like in Houston? I am from Florida, so I know heat, and I can handle it OK. Is Houston bearable?

Thanks!!!
