Rice University offers the benefits of a small student body and an urban setting in one of America’s biggest cities. The main campus enjoys a prime location in Houston’s Museum District right next door to Herrmann Park, putting some of the city’s finest attractions and resources within a short walk of the university. The campus itself is home to several popular student-run hangouts, including the Rice Coffeehouse, Valhalla Pub, and Willy’s Pub. Students receive free tickets to all university athletic events, including the powerhouse baseball program.
Head a couple of blocks over to Rice Village shopping center to catch a show at Main Street Theater or a taco from Torchy’s. The trendy bars, restaurants, and galleries of Midtown and Montrose are close at hand, and Downtown Houston is only a few minutes to the northeast. Thanks to the university’s compact size, any of the surrounding neighborhoods will offer convenient access to all of the campus buildings, making it easy to pick the perfect apartment, condo, or rental home to suit your needs.
