• We do have a lot of departments ranging from business, engineering, finance, etc. We do have good EC activities, and we have a certain website to book events and attend them if we're interested.

• I pretty much asked people who already go to Rice from WhatsApp groups, basically asked them about the best apartments nearby, and then decided.
• And coming to the rent, it would be around $1000 per month if you're taking a room for yourself, including facilities like internet, trash, water, gym, pool, and all.

• There are many campus clubs run by both graduate and undergraduate students, spanning ethnic groups, music, dance, sports, and more. Just like any other university, all the departments have their own library space, as well as a central library called Fondren, which is pretty remarkable and has access to almost all the resources one would generally require.
• Rice has several open fields, a stadium, training facilities, a gym/recreation center, and several indoor and outdoor game courts.

• I currently live in one of Rice's graduate housing facilities. While students can live in one of these residences for the first year, most are required to move to off-campus housing afterwards.

There are residential colleges on campus but a lot of students live off campus too. Rent, board, and other expenses probably cost around $15000 annually.

With a strong and rigorous STEM program, good reputation, positive outcomes of alumni, and good reviews from current students, rated one of the happiest colleges in the US.

Houston is a big city, so there is something for everyone. It's very intimidating at first but after a thorough search, you can find good cheap accommodation (It's hard to live alone with probably high costs in good neighborhoods but very affordable with a roommate or two). Commuting by bus and metro is also not bad.

The department had a good number of faculty members in my area of ??research allowing me to chat with them in the hallways and the general vibe of the university felt very welcoming as they have a large number of international students.

Rice offered me full financial aid that covered all expenses and tuition. Also, the residential college system is what really makes for a welcoming, family-like social scene.

SO many opportunities to explore wide range of interests, many research facilities, great study spaces, great library, everywhere on campus is close and accessible, dorms are nice.

different residential colleges have different accommodations. The one that I live in has very nice facilities, a server and laundry room in the same building as well as study spaces. I share my room and bathroom with one roommate and it is very clean. There is also a kitchen space and commons.
