A Traditional American Experience
Rice students can be found at school long after classes are done enjoying sports, clubs and the 90+ year tradition of Stunt Nite. Participation in extracurricular activities is highly recommended to foster the building of new friendships and a strong sense of belonging. Community service requirements and the host family living experience also expose students to the American way of life beyond Rice’s walls.
