Welcome To Rice University In Houston
Located in the heart of the Lone Star state's bustling bayou metropolis, Rice University (a.k.a. William Marsh Rice University) is a highly respected school where students get substantial individual attention. The student body is only about 6,000, and the student-teacher ratio is only five to one, and despite its small size, Rice has a big academic reputation in all fields. It has also played host to big-time presidential functions, including John F. Kennedy’s personal address to these grey-and-blue Owls in 1962.
