I tried to document all the things that have changed at Rice since I graduated in 2003. There are a lot!

We start our tour at what seems like the only intramural field left at Rice. I think the basketball court to the left is new.

To the left is the business school, and to the right is...wait, what is that?

There's a nice little courtyard in front (trees make it hard to take pictures at Rice), and inside are a bunch of treadmills, free weights, a swimming pool, etc.

The Thresher's front page is in color, which I think is new. (also, I don't feel so bad about not knowing about the rec center, since it just opened)

The bookstore looks a bit different inside, although a lot of the COMP books look familiar...

Sadly, no national championships for Rice since 2003, so this is still hanging above the Great Hall in the RMC.

Between the RMC and the colleges (the good ones, not Jones, Brown, etc.) is this nice-looking coffeehouse.

From the inner loop, you can see something is definitely up with Baker.

And we have confirmation. Incidentally, I never did find Duncan college.

The walk down to the good colleges looks reasonable at first...but wait...

The Will Rice quad is...just sad. (although at least most of the grass is dead, in true Will Rice tradition!)
