Only in Houston

Welcome to America’s most diverse city. Home to newcomers from around the globe, there’s no better place to live and launch. Think foodie heaven, off-the-grid culture, wildcatter innovation, sports, arts and 38,394 acres of parks.

Personally Speaking...

Dallin Bud Scruggs

When on campus, Rice introduced me to alumni, benefactors, and others who shared my professional goals and had gone the path I wanted to go. I knew right then that Rice was dedicated to creating a custom experience that would shape my future.
