passionate about exploring -Rice Univ., why do you choose that particular school of study?

I have always been passionate about exploring and researching on ideas and issues that interest me by myself, especially in chemistry and biochemistry. Thus I established a small chemistry lab at my home and had performed experiments both in and beyond the textbook.

However, I often meet problems or phenomena that are beyond my understanding and could not find professional assistance. I was excited to find out that Wiess School of Natural Sciences of Rice Universities provides the Bioscience Research Collaborative opportunity by which I can work with others who have the same enthusiasm as me and get support from the top professors. I am also looking forward to utilizing my knowledge and skills to benefit human medicine and health.

Furthermore, I frequently meet a lack of equipment and chemical reagents when I perform a new experiment. The Chemistry stockroom and Research Support Shop of Wiess School of Natural Sciences provide exactly what I have always yearned for.

These opportunities unique to Rice are precious to improve my own research skills, work with students of same interests and satiate my desire to study further and explore.
