Overnight Visits
Rice offers interested students the opportunity to spend the night on campus in a residential college with a student host. In the fall, overnight visits will be available from mid-September through late November. In the spring, overnight visits will be available from late January through mid-April. The Admissions Office requires two weeks notice for scheduling overnight visits. If you are admitted to Rice, you should attend Owl Days in April. Hundreds of prospective students (called prospies) descend on Houston to have, arguably, the best weekend of their lives. Often, by the end of Owl Days, prospies don't want to leave. Owl Days is Rice's best attempt to convince admitted students to attend, so you're sure to have a great time, get a feel for the University, and be able to make an informed choice regarding your college decision.
