I wanted to know which major at Rice is better for Cybersecurity.

Computer Engineering or Computer Science?

Which one is easier to get into?

Hi! Looking to make some friends! What are some bars people like to hang out at where the music doesn't drown out any chance of socializing?

Hey guys as I’m am beginning to decide what college I would like to attend, I was wondering if any pre meds could give advice on the teachers that are the best for the science heavy courses like organic chemistry, physics, etc. As well as what teachers I should stay away from?

Please comment on the degree of grade inflation/deflation at Rice? Thanks.

  If anyone has taken this class, I'd love to hear an honest review. It's a field I'm really interested in, but I'm worried about the workload. Also, I'm not very good at writing, so if the class involves a lot of writing, I need to take that into consideration.  Thanks,

need to appeal for a late pass/fail but deadline was nov 1 how strict is Rice EX&S

I will stay in Houston during the winter break and I want to find a tennis community where I can find someone to play with during week. Where and how can I find the community? I’m not sure if just walk up to the tennis court work 😬

I’m an international student interested in taking on a TA role, which requires commitment upto 20 hours at maximum per week. I’m wondering if it’s possible to also work an additional on campus job while being a TA?

I could really use an extra job right now.

So I had sent my IELTS score approx. 6 days ago and it wont still appear here
Should I worry about this as i already had received an email confirmation that states my IELTS score was processed =_=

How difficult is Phys 102? I have AP credit for Phys 101 and I was considering taking Phys 102 this spring. I was also thinking about taking Phys 101 and 102 next year if the knowledge from Phys 101 is important for taking 102. Also, how does the difficulty of Physics 101/102 compare to Chem 121/122.

i'm a senior Elec reminiscing about my time in college. As I'm approaching my last semester at Rice, I am looking to learn about what classes y'all feel define your Rice experience.

Rice has so many different opportunities across all departments from sculptures/art to medieval history to class on electromagnetism the brain.

TLDR: what are some must-take classes and why? Who are some must-take professors and why?

Walk to get a bite to eat*

Basically, I’m wondering if TMC or Rice Village are more popular for a bite to eat. For TMC, particularly the block where Starbucks, Piada, Halal Guys, etc is. But also some others.

Hey everyone! I just got an admit for the masters in computer science program at Rice University (Spring '25 intake), and I'm curious to hear opinions from current or past students—especially fellow international students from India. How’s the program in terms of academic rigor, research opportunities, and campus life? Is it worth the investment overall?

Please reach out or DM me if you’re also joining this spring or have any insights! Thanks!

I'm debating whether or not to take a Winter internship for next semester, and I'd have to relocate to the internship's office so I won't be at Rice. Does anyone know any classes that can be mostly taken asynchronously? i.e., no mandatory lectures and perhaps online exams (but willing to fly in for exam days). I can't take a semester off due to my scholarship, but I'm in a position where not taking any major classes won't affect my graduation date. I'd ideally take 12 credit hours of easyish classes that I can take while not being on campus.

Thanks!

Title explains.

I'm just curious what Rice thinks its brands are worth lol

Hello! Is there any Halloween party in the school on 10/31? Thanks!

I know that Rice is ranked well, but I’m curious what is special about engineering at Rice compared to other universities. Any programs, research, opportunities, professors, general vibe?

Hey y'all!

I am finding an off-campus roommate for the spring semester. DM me if you are interested!

I am planning to major in Computer Engineering. But, I am really interested in video editing and filming as well as a hobby. Are there any clubs at Rice related to this?

Any current PhD students here ? chemistry, chemical biology?
