Rice University
A well respected research university, Rice University has around 5,000 students studying in one of a hundred or more degree programs. If you are fascinated by nanotechnology, structural chemical analysis, artificial heart research or space science, Rice is highly recommended.
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the US, after the big 3 of New York, LA and Chicago. Houston has a broad range of work options for graduates, with an industry based around fields as broad as energy, healthcare, aeronautics, transportation and manufacturing.
Texans are famously attached to their cars, which makes the walk score of 78 out of 100 for the area around Rice University a pleasant surprise! If our legs will carry you just over a third or half a mile, you'll find a great selection of grocery stores, coffee shops, bars, drug stores and bookstores, among others. To get a greater diversity of services, though, bring at least two of your wheels.
Rice University's central location in Houston means that it is fairly easy to find apartments and accommodation in the neighborhoods adjacent to school. Look for housing in Binz, University Place, and Macgregor to be centrally located between the CBD and Rice. West University Place, Southside Place and Braeswood Place are neighborhoods a little further out from the center of the city, but just as convenient for school.
Houston, We Have Affordability in Apartments
You'll find some of the most affordable housing in the country in Houston, with plenty of options for under $400 a month and even some scattered apartments for rent under $300 per month.
There is also excellent rental diversity in the area, with literally hundreds of different complexes renting apartments. You may need to look up to 10 miles away from school to find the most budget friendly places, though. Happening in Houston - Nightlife and Dining
Houston nightlife is as wide and varied as the city itself, and you don't even need to go far from school to get to it. Salento, the Ginger Man, and Benjy's are all practically on campus, they are so close, and give you the choice of wine bars, pubs or lounges. If you want to head into town for something a bit different, Meteor and Union Bar Lounge have smoking, packed dance floors.
Simple is best when it comes to Houston dining, with many of the top rated venues selling simple breakfast and brunch, steak, sandwiches and bakery fare. However, the Latin American at La Guadalupana and Tony's Asian fusion are also popular.
