We'll give you access to the cultural side of Houston with free or discounted transportation, and free or discounted admission and event tickets! The Arts & Entertainment Committee of RPC is the advisory board for the Passport to Houston program. Not only is the committee integral in the selection of the Rice Night Events, they offer discounted tickets to a wide range of events in Houston. If you would like to join the committee please contact the Committee Chair, Devin Glick, or stop by the RPC office in the RMC Cloisters.
Free or Discounted Transportation
Rice undergraduate students can obtain a METRO Q Card for unlimited use on regularly scheduled METRO transportation systems, including the light rail, during the academic year. Graduate students (excluding Jones School) are eligible to purchase Metro Cards with a value of $500 for $55. Metro Q Cards for new students are distributed during O-Week through their colleges and upperclassmen and graduate students can obtain theirs from the Cashier’s Office in the Allen Center. For detailed information go here.
If you need to go further than Metro can take you, you may be interested in Rice's discounted rental car program. For more information go to Zip Car.
Free Admission
Undergraduate students are admitted to the following venues at no cost and receive "member rates" for tickets to special exhibits with a Rice ID.
Be sure to join Passport's group on Facebook in order to get the latest information on Rice Night ticket availability as well as the discounted tickets that will be available at the Student Center Information Desk.
Take advantage of all that Houston has to offer, Boyd
