Study Hard, But Don't Forget To Have Fun!

Our students enjoy getting together after class to participate in program-sponsored social activities, such as the Karaoke party, the picnic at Hermann Park, or the barbecue luncheon with a real Texas cowboy.

The Rice University Intensive English Program realizes you need a healthy balance between studying and having fun. We have suggestions of fun things to do in Houston if you have a couple of hours or a whole afternoon. On the weekend or during your break between sessions, you may want to take a day trip to the exciting attractions that are within a short drive from Houston.

And for those of you who love to spend your free time studying more English, we have English Practice links. Study hard, but don't forget to enjoy all the activities that Houston and the Rice Intensive English Program has to offer.
