What advice would you give to your freshman self?
A piece of advice I would give to my freshmen self is that you live two lives and the second one starts once you realize you only have one and to take advantage of the opportunities when given the chance because you never know if you’ll be given the chance again.
How have you utilized the RESP office this year? How has RESP been beneficial for you this year?
I’ve utilized the RESP office through meeting with my RESP advisor a lot this year. It has helped me with many things such as choosing my classes, making a 4 year plan, or exploring career options.
Any advice for other students?
My advice for other students is to take advantage of the plethora of resources Rice has to offer from the CCD to clubs. Rice has so many resources that can help you throughout your time in college.
