It's Mississippi State's version of that creepy old house at the end of your street that should've been knocked down years ago. I'm sure some State alumni may be reading this thinking "Rice is still around?!" Yes, she's alive, but not necessarily thriving. For those of you who don't know Rice, for some reference, when my mom heard I had friends living there she gave me a bewildered look and told me that's where she lived her freshman year 20+ years ago and it had a reputation of being dingy and worn-down even then. The rumors surrounding Rice have been circulating for years, and many people who weren't blessed enough to get to experience it themselves often wonder how bad it really is. Luckily, I've got a group of girlfriends who've been initiated into college life with the exclusive Rice experience. Readers, meet Iris Linderman, Madeline Brock, Claire Allen, and Madison Martin. They're about to give us the piping hot tea.
