Welcome to Rice University

Take a virtual tour with us and experience our 300-acre campus arboretum and its urban surroundings. From labs and classrooms, to Division 1 athletics and recreational matches, to life in a residential college, these 360-degree photographs will put you in the center of it all. Venture beyond our campus and you’ll get a glimpse of hot spots throughout Houston, many within walking distance — or a light rail train ride — from the university.

Simply pick your tour and launch it in the mode of your choice. Select an image and then drag your way around for an unconventional view of people, activities and campus landmarks. Each slide also features a brief description and links that give you further insight into why Rice is such a spectacular place to study, work and play.
