THE CULTURE
Rice is located in the h

eart of New York City, and this has affected the culture of the campus significantly. Rice is popular among students from all over the world, and many choose to live in off-campus apartments in the surrounding community. Due to the large amount of international students, Rice has a significant amount of cuisines available to its students, from American fast food chains such as Wendy's and Arby's to local and regional Japanese, Korean, and Indian restaurants. Alcohol is readily available on campus, though most students choose to buy it at nearby liquor stores rather than the on-campus pubs and bars. Due to the large amount of wealthy parents sending their children here, Rice is also popular with the children of celebrities and rich people, and many students choose to live in off-campus apartments at the homes of fellow students. Because of its popularity and smart student body, Rice is a common pick-up spot for college students from other famous schools.

Rice has several on-campus dorms that accommodate the students. Most students choose to live off campus, either in off-campus apartments the university has built nearby or in one of the several neighborhoods that surround the campus.
