What about the Rice MBA program has surprised you the most?
How supportive the Rice community is.
What has been your favorite moment of your Rice MBA experience so far?
Going through the recruiting process. That was a very challenging experience, but that strengthen the relationships I had with classmates and Rice team members.
What is your favorite thing about and/or favorite spot in Houston?
Rice Village is my favorite spot in Houston. I have been displaced since Harvey and have been living at Rice Village since August of 2017. I have learned a lot about the area and enjoy being here.
In a sentence, what is the one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
Research the school, its activities and if possible attend a lunch colloquium to better understand how the school works. The first few months can be overwhelming and being well prepared before classes start can be very helpful.
