The Graduate House offers a garden styled community with fully furnished rooms, each with a private bath. Located just north of campus in the South Hampton residential neighborhood, the Graduate House is within one and one-half mile radius of museums, boutique shopping, grocery and drug stores, and the Texas Medical Center. Floorplans include a comfortable balance between community and private areas, sound proofing materials to maintain a quiet study environment, separate apartment electric meters and individual hot water heaters.
Residents can easily walk or bicycle to classes, the library, or their laboratories.
A free shuttle bus from the Graduate House to other parts of the Rice campus runs on a regular schedule. Paid utilities include water and sewer services, cable TV and campus computer network connections.
