<p>I'm reading a lot about Rice and their tendency to shower students with free tshirts. So I was just wondering, where exactly do all these shirts come from?? I'm guessing we'll get one during O-Week, but are the rest just from other Rice events? Should I deliberately pack fewer tshirts in anticipation of the numerous freebies I'll be gathering over the year? :P</p>
<p>Dude, come on. They’re free t-shirts. Don’t overanalyze it. :P</p>
<p>I’ll answer anyway. You can get a lot of free shirts at sporting events. Others come from study breaks or clubs or participating in events like OwlDays. There’s all sorts of ways to get them.</p>
<p>If I’m not wrong, somebody told me that you actually receive 3 free t-shirts YAY! =)</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>Free T-shirts kick ass
I’m planning on wearing nothing but free Ts to class
I know, i’m classy</p>
<p>3??</p>
<p>I have like 30 of them… and i turned many down. You can get 10-20 a year</p>
<p>Do they come in small sizes?? I am also planning on making my entire wardrobe of free t-shirts, but I’m really small.</p>
<p>smalls are harder to get. you better be there early to get them. mediums and larges are what are always there…</p>
<p>lol this is quite strategic…</p>
<p>I’ve never had a problem grabbing smalls. As I think I said in a previous thread, I managed to snag 18 this past year. It wasn’t an issue for me because I’ve got a car, but some of my friends believe it or not DID have problems re-packing all their stuff…but it’s really not something you should be overly concerned about.</p>
<p>Off the top of my head: you get one college shirt during o-week, a few for going to games (I have two football shirts, a basketball, a baseball, and a tennis) and maybe any clubs you join, one at each President’s Study Break (huge school-wide awesome thing held during finals), and a few extra college ones that may be leftover from previous years. There are also shirts for volunteering for various things - outreach days, owl days, and shirts for o-week advisors - and some that you probably will end up purchasing (you have to buy a beer bike shirt to be in the parade, for instance, and screw your roommate shirts are like $5).</p>
<p>hmm… maybe. They do run out real quick though. Faster than the others</p>
<p>thanks. now I’m gonna have to get in shape this summer to wrestle the small t-shirts away from those fiercely competitive itty bitty people</p>
<p>I’ve gotten so many free shirts that I decided to donate half of them to Goodwill when I was packing my stuff for the beginning of summer. My advice is to not worry; Just bring what you need. By the end of freshman year, you will know what to know bring and thus not over pack the following year.</p>
<p>Wow, nice conversation guys. I guess it all comes down to the age old problem of trying to avoid over packing. </p>
<p>Btw, @Modulation and TheFutureIsHere - have you guys received your info packets yet?? I still haven’t gotten mine!</p>
<p>Yeah, I have… Geez, they’re really bad about sending packets to internationals…</p>
<p>I read somewhere on the Facebook group that some of the questionnaires (or all of them?) are due in June 5th…it’s the 1st and I still haven’t gotten my ESTHER log in! I emailed somebody but haven’t gotten a response yet…</p>
<p>call them if you are getting ancy. honestly, they will send it to you. if it comes late, thats their issue and it wont hurt you in any way</p>
<p>So I gave up waiting and just called them yesterday - 'cause I found out (from Facebook) that some of the questionnaires need to be done by the 5th - and I just got my login ID & PIN over the phone. But my packet still hasn’t arrived yet, haha XD</p>
<p>weird. anyways - ur all set then!</p>
<p>Housing forms and stuff like that have “deadlines” but its done by the residential colleges. Aka there really isnt a strict deadline for anything ever… more like anything goes</p>
