Experiences abroad can be extremely rewarding, as Zach Zelman found through his internship this past summer in Paris, France. We asked him a few questions to learn more about what he worked on and his incredible experience working in the heart of Paris. 

When you live in a city as diverse as Houston, you'll find cultural experiences and events throughout the year, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival! A couple of Rice students took an excursion out to Asia Society Texas for this fun weekend event.

Rice students who pursue experiences abroad don’t always just take classes - sometimes they use their skills volunteering for nonprofits, dedicating their time and expertise to organizations doing amazing things  across the globe. Learn more about the projects these Owls worked on abroad this past summer.

We love the experience new students get at O-Week at Rice University, but none of it could happen with the many, many students who come back from their summer early to be O-Week Advisors! We asked a few of them to tell us why they wanted to be an advisor as well as why they absolutely loved the experience. 

As you begin to learn more about Rice University's residential college system, you might wonder if all students live there for all four years - the answer is no! While some students think finding off campus housing is intimidating, it's really not, so we asked one recent Rice grad who lived off campus last year to demystify the off campus housing experience for us. 

Study abroad experiences can be more than simply taking class in a different country, as Drew found out during her trip to Cosa, Italy, where she worked on an archeological dig as part of the Program in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations. Read more about what she enjoyed most about the experience as well as how valuable it was to her future endeavors.

Study abroad can be a life-changing experience for students, and Rice has so many programs to choose from. Learn more about Linda's time studying abroad as she shares her favorite parts about living and learning in Pamplona, Spain with the Rice in Country program.

It's Pride Month, and Rice University is so excited we participated in Houston's first Pride Parade since 2019! Check out some photos of students, alumni, faculty and staff walking in the parade and celebrating the diversity of Rice's LGBTQIA+ community.
