 In response to "10 worst things at Rice" 

(August 24, 2012) 



My god, these comments are disgusting. The point of the article was to criticize the lack of support for Rice among students and perhaps student organizations' lack of effort to use Rice's resources properly to allow the student body to fully enjoy all that Rice has to offer. The point was not to bash this school or the town surrounding it. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You are so lucky to go here, whether on scholarship or paying full tuition. Yeah, pre-meds are annoying, I'm one, I'd know. But we actually have a much better organized social scene than most colleges with their BS exclusivity (e.g. sorority and fraternity parties) and most kids at state schools who don't have the money or the SAT scores to go here would kill for an acceptance letter. Appreciate what you've been given. Don't knock the few luxuries we lack.

Help undocumented students close to home

President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders increasing border security measures and altering the daily lives of undocumented immigrants. The orders include expanding the use of immigration detention, bypassing immigration judges to fast-track deportations and auditing current federal programs that support allegedly removable immigrants.
