<p>I'm about to write my short why Rice University essay. I know that Rice has excellent undergraduate research opportunities, but is there anything else outstanding about rice?</p>
<p>I think most people will write about a combination of Rice’s academic excellence and student life. Don’t feel obligated to stick to academics.</p>
<p>i dont see why your applying to rice if you dont see anything else thats appealing to you… just my 2 cents</p>
