Can I work as a TA and have an on-campus job simultaneously

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?

Phys 102

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.

What classes defined your Rice experience?

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?

Which area are you more likely to walk to a bite to eat?

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.

Is the Rice MSCS Program Worth It?

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!

Any classes that can be taken asynchronously?

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!

Current students and Alumns, what is something you love about Rice that most people wouldn't know about?

Other ways to phrase the question: What has made/makes Rice standout to you? Favorite avtuvities/events at Rice? What do you love about the community? Are there any values the school harbors but aren't well known or talked about?

All answers are appreciated.
