<p>Our son just officially accepted Rice. We are excited and trying to learn more about Rice. We are also wondering if there might be some other families from near Baton Rouge who might be able to tell us anything about traveling to and from Rice, or anything else of interest. Thanks</p>
<p>Sorry - I'm not near Baton Rouge - but I do know that Houston Hobby airport is closer to Rice and easier to get to campus from, than Houston Intercontinental. From Hobby it is possible (albeit not easy with lots of luggage) to get to campus by bus. Maybe your son could facebook in the class of 2011 forum and find some other people from your neck of the woods.</p>
<p>Thanks, I'm sure he will. As a parent, I'm not sure how much feedback I will get from him. Hence the question here.</p>
<p>If he brings a bike, make sure it's a clunker. Biggest crime issue on campus seems to be bike theft. ;) Okay, I'm all out of advice, but, welcome to the Rice community. :)</p>
<p>DonR, I sent you a PM.</p>
