William Marsh Rice University is a higher educational establishment located in Houston, Texas. An impressive campus of the institution, also known as Rice University, covers 300 acres. The university was founded in 1912 and named after a benefactor businessman who bequeathed a fortune to the establishment. 

The university is focused on undergraduate studies and contains a small student body. Studying here is comfortable due to an almost individual approach thanks to a student-faculty ratio of 6:1. Such tight placing also affects the acceptance rate of the establishment that is currently only 16%. The tuition and fees in general sum up to about $47,000 a year. Though, the school has a great financial aid network and is ready to help students in need to cut their expenses.

About University:
I'm glad I chose to attend this wonderful university. I was a little hesitant about coming to Houston but almost everyone I've met is amazing. The food is great and you can eat at whatever servery you feel like. The campus is beautiful and I love to go on walks around it. Since it is in the middle of a highly populated city some incidents do occur.

About University:
Didn't like the place. I chose it because they made things cheaper than Vanderbilt and Duke, but I regretted lots of it. Not a great place.

About University:
I attended Rice for my master's degrees, so I have the opportunity to compare it to two other institutions alma mater and doctorate-granting. The professors are mostly helpful, the teaching is thoughtful, the campus is beautiful, and the students are friendly. The only downsides are the poor dining options and the average library.

About University:
The residential college system is excellent and makes for a wonderful college experience. Every university has their share of bad teachers, but most at Rice are fantastic. I couldn't be happier.

About University:
Rice is a wonderful school. There is something for everyone with any interest imaginable. Although it is just recently gaining an international reputation, the quality of education you receive here cannot compare to anywhere else in the world. You are treated as an individual without the snootiness found in other schools or equal caliber.

I love the college system of Rice! I made lots of friends, everybody is nice and helpful, and I love dining and spending time with our faculty associates. My major is in religious studies--and I LOVE my professors and the small student-faculty ratio. I highly recommend Rice University!
