Rice University Transfers: 2024 Requirements, Dates, GPAs & More

When is the best time to visit Rice University?

Visiting Rice University depends on a number of factors, including the season, your schedule, and a lot of uncontrollable variables. We recommend you visit Rice University twice if you’re serious about enrolling – at least one visit should be when students are on campus and school is in session. Be sure to take note of the town of Houston as well. Remember that Houston is also catering to 3879 students, so think critically about whether the community would feel too big or too small for your personal liking.
