Diana, Choosing a college means choosing a college town for your undergraduate years. Houston, America's fourth-largest city and home to Rice University, is routinely lauded for its robust economy, cultural attractions and globally diverse population. Recent accolades include: - "No. 1 American City to Visit" (The New York Times)
- "America's Next Great Global City" (Forbes)
- "The Modern American Boomtown" (The Wall Street Journal)
Houston is the energy capital of the world, home to the world's largest medical center, a hub for the aerospace and biotechnology industries, and a major center for international trade. Rice students are recruited for internships throughout the city, with employers including the Texas Medical Center, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, NASA's Mission Control Center, the Rockets and the Texans and 24 Fortune 500 headquarters. As host to the 2016 NCAA Final Four and the 2017 Super Bowl, Houston affirms itself as a highly desirable destination. Rice's Passport to Houston provides students with free, unlimited public transportation along with discounts to cultural events and festivals, museums and fine arts performances, and shopping and dining. The city boasts world-class museums and permanent professional companies for the opera, symphony, theater and ballet. The downtown Theater District is second only to New York City's in the number of theater seats. Discover Houston and all it has to offer. Be decisive. Choose Rice. Sincerely,
Julie M. Browning
Dean for Undergraduate Enrollment |
