 RICE UNIVERSITY                             

Rice University is consistently ranked one of America's best teaching and research universities. It is distinguished by its:

  • Size–2,700 undergraduates and 1,500 graduate students;
  • Selectivity–10 applicants for each place in the freshman class;
  • Resources-an undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio of 5-to-1, and the fifth largest endowment per student among private American universities;
  • Residential college system, which builds communities that are both close-knit and diverse; and
  • Collaborative culture, which crosses disciplines, integrates teaching and research, and intermingles undergraduate and graduate work.

Rice's wooded campus is located in the nation's fourth largest city and on America's South Coast.
