<p>Hi, I'm in high school near Houston, and some friends of mine were planning on staying at a Rice dorm this summer. Would Rice allow them to stay at a place like Martel College this coming summer? If so, who would I contact and how much would it cost? Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>Summer housing was at Baker, but it filled up, so they opened Will Rice. Pricing and contact info is at <a href="http://salt.rice.edu/summer/index.php?topgroupid=1&subgroupid=13&groupid=8%5B/url%5D">http://salt.rice.edu/summer/index.php?topgroupid=1&subgroupid=13&groupid=8</a> though you'd probably be better off staying at home.</p>
<p>Thanks. </p>
<p>My friend contacted Ms. Veronica Boroom, the contact listed on that page. Unfortunately, she said that only full-time Rice students are allowed to stay at the dorms. Do you know of any other housing options?</p>
<p>It's probably too late to sublet an OC student's apartment, so your best bet is to try and rent a place. Anything close to Rice would probably be pretty pricey, though, so you may want to opt for something within biking/driving distance. Is there any reason you want to stay close to campus?</p>
<p>Just to clarify, the dorms are not for me, I'm just asking for a friend who doesn't have a CC account. Yeah, she's planning on getting an apartment near Rice though we don't know how far away it is yet.</p>
