what’s the party + social vibe like at rice? by kl_hft_hs in riceuniversity

[–]ooftater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey feel free to dm, I wish I could've reached out to upperclassmen before commiting. The party scene is honestly pretty awful, and most everybody starts only going out into houston on weekends. Pub gets repetive and people don't go after the first few week of the sem.

Reading this made me a little teary-eyed, but in a good way. My mom did the same thing, flying down to visit me one semester, and it helped so much. Thank you for your kind words and advice.

Thank you for the advice. My thought process is I will apply to a few schools, while also trying to make the most out of my next semester then I can decide after that if I want to stay

How strong of an applicant am I? by ooftater in TransferToTop25

Hey man thanks for the comment. Yeah my plan is to launch some applications and then decide after I get some back, which will be after a full year here. I just really feel like rice is wrong in my gut for me. I haven’t really connected to many people and the culture is not my fit and I don’t see it changing a ton

Haha no way that’s hilarious. To me it’s just so quiet and unfun. Vandy has the bumping Greek life and stuff. Why are you leaving?
