Please comment on my short answer/ essay in any way, thank you!
Several years ago, I read an article about Rice University's founder William Marsh Rice and his love for trees. He once said that the oak trees at Rice University must outnumber the students there. As an environmentalist and nature-lover, I was fascinated by that article. I feel like it would be such a pleasure studying on a picturesque campus with more than 4000 oak trees, and walking to my classes on paths littered with acorns. Like I wrote before, I have a passion for history and hope to teach history in the future. And Rice University offers a variety of interesting and challenging history courses. When I looked through the Course Catalog, all those courses interest me so much that I knew that if I have the time and opportunity to, I would take every single history class offered. Its website also wrote that Rice's History Department has a twofold function: researching and teaching. This is such a great fact to know as it assured me that the professors at Rice would be both extremely knowledgeable and accessible. Aside from being an academically excellent university, Rice has an amazing student life and residential college program that I know I would love. The more I researched about Rice, the more I felt like I would belong to this amazing school.
