EXPLORE LIFE AT RICE

What if you could get a first-hand
look at life at Rice

  • Eating on campus is an important part of the residential experience. Every student has access to all five serveries, and a wide variety of food options are available at each. We asked students to share what they love about the Rice serveries.

  • Naman and Devika are back after a semester away studying abroad! Follow along as they visit Chaus, the Fondren Library and the Rice Memorial Center to ask students: Who is your favorite professor at Rice?

  • Experiential learning is a big part of the Rice experience, and there is no shortage of exciting opportunities available to our humanities students. Hear more about this Bakerite’s experience with the Baker Institute for Public Policy!

  • Meet Catarina Albuquerque, a midfielder on the Rice women’s soccer team! Originally from London, Cat was the first Owl in ten years to record an assist in her first collegiate game. She let us tag along to see what a typical day is like for a student-athlete.

  • Houston is a foodie paradise, home to over 10,000 restaurants spanning a variety of budgets, ambiences and cuisines. Here are some Rice favorites.

  • Xavier always had a passion for learning languages, and he wanted to make sure he could continue this interest once he came to Rice. Sure enough, Rice offered him a plethora of resources and opportunities to improve the languages he already knew and learn new languages.

  • Applying to college can seem like a really big task, but our Admission Officers are here to help! This blog post includes insights on how to make your Rice application stand out, directly from the Admission Officers that will read your application.

  • Our three-part Student Run Business series showcases our on-campus businesses that are completely run and managed by Rice students. This episode highlights The Hoot, a snack shop serving all sorts of hot food and much-needed snacks to fulfill those late night cravings.

  • Our Academic Projects at Rice series highlights different student projects within each school of study. This Engineering at Rice post highlights Lily's internship working with a research associate at the Baker Institute of Public Policy, exploring the interdisciplinary intersections of public policy and environmental engineering.

  • At Rice, we encourage students to explore their academic interests across borders through study abroad. With over 200 programs across all seven continents (including Antarctica), there are plenty of options for students to explore that may not be offered at Rice. Read along to hear about Devika's experience at Milan Fashion Week during her program this semester!

  • 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. 

  • Though Rice has recently added a business major for undergraduates, there has been a thriving community of business students and organizations at Rice for years! Joining a business-related club is a great way to learn about potential career paths, develop business skills, and make new friends.
