Stricter alcohol law enforcement a mistake

One of the reasons Rice is so appealing to prospective students is its reputation for having one of the happiest student bodies on a university campus. From my experiences here this rating is accurate. Two things we do very well is work hard and party hard; the Rice University Police department and the alcohol policy have allowed us to do this safely within our hedges. RUPD is a great resource for our student body and is always available when needed. The Rice alcohol policy regards us as adults by limiting us to the state laws of Texas while giving us more freedom than other universities' policies. Resident associates at other universities raid rooms in search of alcohol to confiscate; RAs and masters at Rice are our friends, people we look up to and lean on for help or and our family away from home.
