What about the Rice MBA program has surprised you the most?
The people at Rice Business surprised me the most. Everyone (classmates, seniors, alumni, professors, career advisors etc.) here is so easily approachable that you never feel a lack of resources. People are always willing to help each other in every possible way.
What has been your favorite moment of your Rice MBA experience so far?
Seattle Trek. It was a very enriching experience visiting the offices of big tech firms, connecting with alumni and learning about their work and culture.
What is your favorite thing about and/or favorite spot in Houston?
Rice Village. Depending upon your mood, whether you want to relax in a coffee shop or shop or want to try different cuisines or party, you will always find a perfect place in this area.
In a sentence, what is the one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
Be open-minded, set priorities and make trade-offs. Be yourself and benchmark against yourself, not your classmates.
