We have been wanting to check out Rice campus for a long time since Texas claims it is one of the prettiest universities in the nation, and we drive by it every day. By around 8pm it finally started to cool off so we decided to take our bikes. The campus is situated right in the middle of the Medical Center and busy side streets, but it is well protected by live oaks and large grassy areas. The entrance is beautiful with oak trees lined up on both sides of the street which opens up to a large area of grass and then a beautiful red brick building. Once you walk through the hallway of the building there is a grassy courtyard circled around by red brick buildings.  We loved the architecture of the buildings, how they were all of the similar Ivy League style.

It didn’t take long for our bike ride to become unsafe in the dark, and we were both dripping with sweat and my legs were covered in bug bites. Next time I think we’ll drive and explore the insides of the buildings and maybe eat at the underground pub.
