hey ya’ll, got invited to owl access as a limited income student…is it worth it? i’m kind of confused on what exactly i would be doing there…. if anyone knows, thanks in advance😄
I know forms are due by June 1st, but does that mean they need to get done today or do I have tmr until midnight to get it done? Thanks!
I just got an email inviting me to RESP… does this mean I’m stupid LOL and also is it worth participating?
How bad of an idea is it to take Ochem1 & COMP 140 at the same time, and Ochem2 & COMP 182 at the same time?
I want to combine CS and pre-health prereqs, but i'm not sure if that's a good idea, or if I should completely drop one interest?
Thank you all!
**Edit:
If it gives more clarity, I have 50 AP Credits, which will allow me (if I did my calculations right) to take 10 credit-hour semesters all throughout my four years? So hypothetically, I will be able to concentrate on those two hard classes
....and why?
Can anyone tell me if the FWIS writing assessment really takes most people five hours to complete or is Rice just very generous with the time allowed?
Hello, how feasible is it to pursue a CS major without prior experience in coding at Rice? Have any of you done that? I originally applied as an aspiring Biosciences major, but I have had a recent identity crisis and exploring different areas I may want to study, and CS is in the running
Title, cant seem to find an online way to do this. Let me know. Thanks
Hi all, I'm trying to find the screenshot that I thought I had of the single funniest Canvas discussion post of all time. Unfortunately, I got my access to all my Rice stuff cut off prematurely, so I can't look at anything in Canvas.
If you were in that class and still have access to Canvas, can you DM me? Thanks! <3
Is there any 2-year online college I could take it at over the summer?
Anyone know how to get into the tower on Keck Hall?
Hello! Longhorn here! I will be in Houston for about 2.5 months for an internship. I'll be staying in a house in West Uni Place. As such, I was curious to know what the rules/regulations/fees were regarding non-Rice people using your university gym in the summer. Would love to potentially use it if possible. If that is not the case, will happily take gym recommendations that are close by that I can use. Let me know. Thanks!!🤘🏾
Where would i find the tuition for Rice for each year after 2000?
Hi, not sure if this is the right subreddit but I'm an incoming Master's in Bioengineering student at Rice. I'm probably going to do the research specialization track and I'm thinking of doing a PhD after. Just wanted to see if anyone knew what the post-grad outcomes usually are for MBE grads and if it's common to pursue a PhD or if people head straight to industry?
Hi guys, I would like to know where the current Rice students reside off-campus. And which apartments are affordable and have a good community. Please do share.
This is mainly for those of you whose COA isn't entirely covered by Rice... How do you and your families manage to afford Rice?
If you don’t mind sharing… Are you full pay or half pay and are you pulling out loans to afford the price associated with Rice or can your family afford to pay all of it? If you appealed and received a change in your FA offer, what was the difference between your offers? Did you originally not meet need-based eligibility?
I know that not everyone has the same financial situation but I would just like some background info on different situations to sort of compare to my family’s financial circumstances and see what can be possible.
Hey, After exploring the rice website I saw students were eligible for free bus rides in Houston. Just a thought. What can the student ID get you as well?
Hi guys! I assume this question gets asked a lot and I apologize in advance. I will be interning in Houston and will be living in Rice Village this summer! I love running so I wanted to know what trails of running routes exist to go for a run near the neighborhood or the school ? I also wanted to know just some things I should do while I’m there ! I’ve heard great things about rice village and wanted to make sure I take full advantage.
Hi,
Does anyone know- does Rice’s pool have 25 or 50m lap lanes?
Thanks!
In the news, there are a lot of stories of recent CS majors having a hard time finding jobs. Is this for real? Are graduates from the CS program at Rice having difficulty finding good jobs after college?
I was wondering if I should use my chem credit. Would it make studying for the MCAt harder/upper level classes harder if I used the credit?
Hi everyone! Wanted to ask about job opportunities on campus. I’m an incoming freshman and was looking for jobs that might give some sort of tuition reduction or even just pay decently well. Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for any undergraduate Rice admit going this year.
The latest US News Best Value Schools ranking, which I think is as important or more important than the traditional ranking because of how expensive college education is, replaces MIT with Rice in the top 5. Nice recognition by USNWR, if you are into that sort of thing. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/best-value
Joining the music school for a Masters in trombone performance in August. Don’t really know anybody in the school and wanted to learn more about it. Anyone willing to share their experience so far and what to expect? I know the orchestra and brass faculty (especially Barbara Butler) are phenomenal.
