Welcome home
While at Rice, where you live goes a long way in determining how you live. All students are randomly assigned to one of nine self-governing residential colleges. More than just a residence hall, your college is your primary place for dining, studying and socializing. It’s also a place you’ll likely make lifelong friendships. This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the system, and plans are underway to add two more colleges to the mix.
