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.

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!

Hi! I’m a junior in highschool right now and Rice is my top school. Wondering if anyone has any tips that can help increase my chances of admission? Or anything that I should know just in general? I can give more information regarding my academics and extra curriculars if that will help with understanding what I need to prioritize. Thanks in advance!

Hello! currently an undergrad struggling with bpd. I just wanted to see if anyone else on campus also has bpd and wants to be friends! I don’t really have anyone to talk to about what I go through (in friendships my age) and would love to be able to relate to someone else :,) Feel free to DM me!
