Welcome to Rice Hospitality

Making campus feel like home, one experience at a time. (Living. Dining. Connecting.)

At Rice Hospitality, we redefine what it means to live and dine on campus. More than housing and dining, we create spaces and experiences that foster connection, care, and community throughout every stage of the Rice journey.

We provide innovative, student-centered hospitality services that support academic success, well-being, and a sense of belonging. From vibrant residential college communities to award-winning dining programs, we prioritize excellence, sustainability, and service.

What We Do:

• Residential Life & Housing: We manage over 3,400 undergraduate and 500 graduate beds across the residential colleges and graduate apartments, offering comfortable, secure, and inclusive living environments that support personal and academic growth.
• Campus Dining & Culinary Services: Our self-operated dining model features chef-driven menus, local sourcing, and forward-thinking sustainability practices. We nourish our community through connection and culture across daily meals to special events.
• Hospitality Services: From summer conferences and guest housing to campus events and catering, we deliver exceptional service that reflects the values and excellence of Rice University.

Our Commitment:

• Service that anticipates needs and exceeds expectations
• Spaces that feel like home and build community
• Sustainable practices that protect our future
• A culture rooted in care, integrity, and purpose

Rice Hospitality is where meaningful experiences begin, on campus and beyond.
