What about the Rice MBA program has surprised you the most?

I love the debates in Professor Balaji Koka's classrooms.

What is your favorite thing about and/or favorite spot in Houston?
Houston has every type of entertainment imaginable, but I really enjoy the escape room, comedy, and music outlets in the city.

In a sentence, what is the one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
The experience of choosing and undertaking business school can be overwhelming and scary; jump in headfirst, seek out organizations that reflect your values, and know that those who came before you survived, and you will too.
