<p>So the residential college system is awesome. And for the most part, people are randomly assigned to them. But do you all know which college you prefer?</p>
<p>even though we have no control over what college we’ll get in, id love to be in either martel (ive been told that it IS a college lol) or in duncan.</p>
<p>people in martel seem like really down to earth, friendly, funny people.</p>
<p>but that may just be the majority of rice students anyway.</p>
<p>you want to be in will rice, trust me :)</p>
<p>I visited Rice in November, and our tour guide showed us one of the older residential colleges (I think it was Baker). I went to the Admit Day yesterday and saw Duncan, which was amazing and almost the antithesis of the first one I saw, which frankly seemed old and crappy. I know that I most likely won’t get into one of the two new colleges next year, though, and so I’m kinda worried that my dorm won’t be very nice…is this ungrounded?</p>
<p>It was probably Hanszen… Baker is currently under renovation and so is Will Rice.</p>
<p>@sliknik,
i’m pretty sure you gave me my tour. just saying. </p>
<p>you are a tour guide, right?</p>
<p>No, I’m not a tour guide (I think I know who gave you the tour… someone from Cincinnati at Hanszen? I don’t want to reveal his name, but I know who you are talking about. I know him pretty well… he convinced me to come to Rice last year when i was deciding. Strangely enough, my parents and his parents know each other back in Cincy).</p>
<p>No he was a martel guy. I’m pretty sure he was from cincinatti but i could be wrong. He was definitely the best tour guide I’ve had. I didn’t really need much pursuading to come to Rice, but it definitely helped!</p>
