    For more information, click here. Since parts of the Rice campus are undergoing construction, check back to our website at least the day before CLW for updates in case there are any changes.

  • Can I park at a Rice parking lot?
    Yes. Free parking is provided in the Jones Business School parking garage. You will need to get a ticket as you enter the parking garage. We will provide you a voucher at the end of the day that will allow you to get out of the parking garage for free.

  • I’ve heard that I can bring a copy of my college application essay for a workshop leader to proofread. Is this true?
    If you have already written your college essay, by all means bring a copy of it with you to CLW. However, due to the busy schedule, the workshop leaders may or may not have time to proofread your entire essay and give constructive comments. Instead of requesting an entire proofread, we recommend that you ask specific questions pertaining to certain problem areas in your essay. That way, the workshop leader(s) can focus on these problems in the limited time they have.
