Top Notch Academics With Wonderful Profs
One of the main reasons I chose Rice was because it has such a good reputation for its professors being helpful and eager to teach. I have yet to be disappointed! The academics are Rice are some of the best in the nation, but that does not always mean that the teaching environment is the best. Rice, however, has gotten the best of both. Professors are eager to answer questions and help you with anything you don't understand. The advising system is great too. There are professors from your field of study assigned to you that you can make appointments with and PAAs (peer academic advisors) that are available anytime for you at your college (which is the community you live in). There are many great class options, and many people are eager to experiences areas of study outside their majors. Overall, the atmosphere for learning and expanding your understanding is superb!

Pride in Diversity
Rice prides itself on diversity. In a single class, you can find people from Thailand, England, and Washington. It's great to get so many different perspectives!

NO Regrets Here!
Rice is everything I wanted in a college and more! The professors are wonderful, the class selection is great, and the friends I have made are awesome. I love everything about campus. By far the best part is the college system - it gives you your own built in family and neighborhood. I've known people who have turned down Harvard for Rice and have never regretted it solely because of the social atmosphere of the campus, both through the college system and with the faculty.
