What about the Rice MBA program has surprised you the most?
The collaborative environment and camaraderie within the students. Additionally, the support and help provided by seniors and the alumni across the country. I am also surprised how much each individual (administrative, CDO, faculty, and peers) is invested and interested in the growth of everyone around him/her.

What has been your favorite moment of your Rice MBA experience so far?
The discussions in class, the parties at Valhalla, the case preparation with batchmates, the trips during treks. It difficult to single out one experience from other.

What is your favorite thing about and/or favorite spot in Houston?
Favorite Spot - Evening at "Twilight Epiphany" with a coffee. Favorite Thing - People

In a sentence, what is the one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
Come without preconceived notions and with an open mind, as there is so so much to learn every second you are here.
