Rice Is Nice
The diversity of backgrounds and cultures at Rice is, in my mind, unparalleled. The residential college system, while it can be socially limiting at times, is generally incredible & really facilitates the forging of close friendships.

No One Cares
Off-campus housing is generally easy to find thanks to a high rate of turnover among students thanks to the residential college system which leads to a propensity to live off-campus for only one or two years, & only when on-campus housing is unavailable.

Lots of Alcohol
All you need to know is, the university placed its students under an alcohol probation policy which included a zero-tolerance liquor ban this past year. It was generally ineffective, reducing the number of alcohol-related medical emergencies but not curtailing the availability or usage of hard alcohol. Rice likes to party (shocking but true) and loves to drink. If you are thinking about applying here, this is absolutely vital knowledge.

Great Classes, Great Profs
Every semester here, I have had at least one professor who has been absolutely brilliant, as well as several who I consider to have changed my life. That makes for a more-than-fair trade-off for the handful of very mediocre classes and professors I have had.

Incredible. Just Incredible.
People are judged here based solely on what they do. It's awesome.
