Going to Rice is like going to summer camp for rich kids, but with so much more alcohol than you ever could have imagined. There are planned activities nearly every night, dozens of clubs and teams and societies and what have you at every college. (But you can live off campus and easily avoid it!)

Those who don't subscribe to the CAMPus life are often insufferable nerds.

But take heed: there are a handful of legitimately cool, interesting people here who make it tolerable. That said, the density of this type of student is alarmingly low. I came from art school and I miss it every day.

Hip Houstonians hate Rice students, and for good reason. Any if you're cool, people from Screwston may not believe that you actually go here.

Responses

Hip = A particularly arrogant form of self-righteousness, uninformed by any sense of historical perspective, and unrelieved by any degree of self-awareness more profound than the most facile sort of irony. Hip Houstonians, indeed.
