What I like about Rice/Houston

Rice is an amazing, welcoming community where everyone can find something that helps to build and make dreams come true. It is a peaceful and beautiful university where the environment invites exploration at each level, and the campus is a wonderful place to be. 

What I like about Fulbright

I love the family we are; we are supportive, diverse, active, and we are the first point of contact with new Fulbrighters at Rice. Although each of us is focused on our programs, we are connected, and having activities together makes this experience more valuable and fun.
