Brown College
The residents of Brown, a.k.a. Brownies, may just be some of the sweetest people you meet at Rice. Between bonding at Brown Skate and going all out for holidays with floor decorations, you’ll love spending time with Brownies.
Jones College
As the first women’s college on campus, Jones has a long and storied history. Though it has since become co-ed, Jonesians never forget to celebrate the birthday of their namesake, Mary Gibbs Jones, with their annual birthday bash.
Martel College
While young, Martelians honor their history! Best known for instituting Greek Week, this is just one way they celebrate the Greek heritage of their founding father, Speros P. Martela. In their free time, you might find Martelians on their sundeck.
Duncan Hall
By making milkshakes for Thirsty Thursday or playing ping pong during Monday Night Lights, Duncaroos love fostering community. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll witness someone getting “dunked” in the affectionately named DuncTank outside for their birthday.
McMurtry College
Though a newer college, McMurtry embraces this chance to innovate! Whether it’s proposing new traditions or flexing creative skills in the McMurtry Innovation Space (open to anyone!), Murts know how to live in the present while planning for the future.
Baker College
As the oldest residential college on campus, Baker is filled with tradition. Bakerites love to pass on this legacy with every new incoming class, and pride themselves on their spot as number one.
Will Rice College
With the mystical phoenix as its mascot, Will Rice owns its name as the College of Gods and Goddesses. They love competition - challenge them in the game room or in intramural sports, Will Ricers will never turn you down!
Lovett College
Named after Rice’s first president, Edgar Odell Lovett, this college loves its communal spirit and welcoming nature. Because of the building's distinctive brutalist architecture, many compare Lovett’s main building to a giant toaster.
Sid Richardson College
Though they are the smallest residential college, Sidizens take pride in their tower, which is the tallest building on campus. With floor and common culture and their “floor wars,” life is never boring at the small but mighty Sid Rich.
Hanszen College
While it’s had many nicknames across the years, Hanszen prefers its most recent name as the Family College. Students at Hanszen value the Hanszen Heart, which symbolizes their caring and supportive nature.
Wiess College
Traditions at Weiss center around their fun nature. Through activities like Team Fun Friday Weiss or their iconic camping trip, Weissmen bond through activities that embrace their well known motto: Team Family Weiss!
