A Day in Houston

#houston

Rice Owls often remark that campus is a bubble. Although our campus is always active and has many events put on for students, the city of Houston has many options too. Throughout the semester, Nimah and Devin have been using their weekends to explore Houston’s bakeries, restaurants, markets, libraries, and more to immerse themselves in the greater Houston community & culture.

In this video, you’ll see a day in their lives working as students in different coffee shops while stumbling into the other stores and events Houston offers.
