When you arrive for orientation week in August, be prepared to sweat like you have never sweated before. In the summer, Houston is unbearably hot and humid. Add to that the high pollution levels, and the result is frequent ozone warnings that caution against working or exercising outside during peak temperature hours. The mosquitoes come out in droves during these months, as well. Also be warned that when it rains, it pours. Think monsoon season. Several of the colleges have suffered flood damage in recent years, and a few upperclassmen tell very amusing tales about floating around the Inner Loop on inner tubes. After a particularly rainy spell, Rice campus will sometimes retain water for a long period of time, earning the affectionate nickname of William Rice’s Marsh (a play on the name of our founder, William Marsh Rice).

The good news is that Houston has fairly mild winters, and extended fall and spring seasons. Long after your northern friends have dug out their sweaters and mittens, you can call home and brag to them that you went running outside in shorts and a tank top. You can enjoy outdoor picnics, pickup soccer games, or lazy reading in a hammock well into November. Once it cools off, and if it isn’t raining, Houston weather is rather delightful. Don’t be fooled however; it does get chilly, so bring a coat!

Rice students admit that most departments have both strong and weak professors. However, according to most undergrads, the overall experience with Rice professors is incredibly positive. Students rave about the close personal relationships that they form with many of their professors. They are approachable, eager to connect with students, very knowledgeable in their fields, and make every effort to be accessible to their students. They not only meet with students before and after class or during their office hours, but many also frequently eat lunch at local restaurants and attend University functions (athletic events, plays, and even off-campus social functions).

In order to earn a Rice degree, you must complete a certain number of classes in different areas of study (social sciences, humanities, science and engineering). This allows students the opportunity to explore academic areas outside of their chosen major. For many students, elective courses are an exciting change from their major courses. Because these distribution requirements can also be very challenging, Rice allows students to take four classes (not specifically required for their degree) pass/fail. This encourages students to take courses in subjects they are not familiar with, as well as allowing them to put more effort into their major classes than their distribution classes. However, when you do have a choice about your courses or professors, there are many resources to help you avoid unwise decisions.
