Move-in day at Rice University kicks off O-Week 2018

The first Rice University shuttle full of new Owls arrived on campus Aug. 12 ahead of the sun. At 6:30 a.m., a group of 15 international students from Denmark, France, China and Singapore stepped off outside Duncan College. O-Week had officially begun. Each incoming class of freshmen begins its Rice experience with a weeklong orientation, O-Week for short, that introduces the new students to the campus, culture, colleges and their classmates. Registering for classes and learning about policies is only part of the O-Week package; what makes an Owl orientation truly special is the friendly greeting by upperclassmen who wait at each residential college to greet arriving freshmen and their families with chants, cheers and a helping hand.
