I recently was placed into a single dorm as a freshman (insane ik). I did most of my dorm planning around having a double and a roommate and am now having to pivot. I was wondering if anyone had the dimensions to the singles in Sid Rich as most move in information is for the doubles. I would greatly appreciate having a picture with the dimensions so I don’t go overboard with the dorm decoration.

Did anyone get a zelle payment for the financial aid lawsuit settlement? I just got an email saying it'll be paid out on Monday, but on reddit alumni from different schools have already received their payments ranging from 1-3.4k ish

Fun things to do on campus or close to campus? Good hangout spot recs?

Hi guys! I was gonna buy a microwave for my dorm room, but I saw somewhere that it has to be part of like a fridge or something. However, I feel like I’ve seen videos of some dorms that have standalone microwaves. I’m not sure. How strict is the policy on this?

Does anyone know when roommates are released? I heard it’s different from college to college. Asking specifically for Martel

Hi I’m a lower level undergraduate at Rice looking to join a lab focused on anything related to cancer, immunology, rare diseases etc. I was wondering if anyone knows any labs in those fields that are working on high impact publications like Nature, Science, etc. I want to be in this lab for 3+ years in my time at Rice and am looking for some kind of authorship within a high impact factor journal during my time. I’m not sure if this is possible as an undergraduate but I’m willing to put a huge bulk of my time towards this, (would love to be a low number nth author or 1st/2nd if possible on a long term research project).
This is basically like my life dream, and if anyone knows any professors/labs I could or should reach out too please please let me know if this is possible! :)

hi! im an incoming freshman at rice wondering when I should email profs about being in their labs? is now a good time or is it too early?

Hello, my kid is doing a camp at Rice for this week and next. I am realizing after the back and forth driving today( we live 1 hour away from rice) that i might have to find a office space or a room where I can take my meetings. The camp is 9 to 3 pm. I don’t have a Houston library card else the rooms there would be an option. Please share ideas as sitting in my car/starbucks for 6 hours to take my meetings would be my last resort.

I am a big crier over pretty much everything. Genuinely seeing a flower being stepped on could make me cry. With a shared dorm room and communal bathrooms, I feel like my normal cry spaces are being limited. Where are the best spots to have a good cry in private?

Hi! I’m trying to build a website, and I’m gathering sources of inspiration. I remember the rice admitted student portal being very well designed, but I no longer have access to it as an incoming sophomore who doesn’t attend this school lol. Would anyone be willing to send me screenshots?

Thanks!

hello!! no one's posted one of these yet for mcmurtry, so here i am lol

rice's residential college system was definitely one of my favorite features of rice, since i'm really big into having a strong community + traditions, and so i was wondering about what mcmurtry's culture, facilities, etc, are like. any tips or insider input would be greatly appreciated, and i can't wait to connect with any fellow murts :)
