... On travel
Where are you from?
I'm from Sweden.
... On grandiosity
When you first came to Rice on Sunday ...
what did you think?
Well, the first thing I saw — that was Texas.
Everything is so huge; the cars are big and the
highways ... everything is big. The potatoes are big.
It's really weird. And the heat and the humidity ...
That's what I've thought so far about Texas. My first
impression about Rice is that it's a very nice-looking
school, very nice. It's very beautiful.
... On foreign cuisine
And now that you've been here for a couple of
days, what do you think about Rice?
I think affout the same. I've noticed that the food is
not so good anymore.
... On making friends
What do you think about O-Week?
I think O-Week is a great way to make friends.... So
this is a great opportunity. We have a similar kind of
thing in Sweden. But we get a bit more drunk. It's
the Swedish way.
Why [Blank] College is the best
Are you glad to be at Sid?
Yeah. Sid rules.
What makes Sid better than the other col- *
leges?
It's so much taller!
Allison Austin
... On identity crises
Where are you from?
Jones College.
... On reality
And where are you from in the United States?
Boston, Mass.
... On having fun
What do you think about O-Week?
O-Week's been awesome. I loved the scavenger
hunt. It was so much fun. It just rocks; it's been so
much fun.
Why [Blank] College is better
Are you glad that you're at Jones?
Of course.
What's so great about Jones?
Jones is bad ass.
Laura Olson
... On meteorology
Why did you come to Rice?
Because it's a cool school.
Why every college but [Blank
blanks]
And what do you think about Hanszen?
It's definitely the best.
And what makes your college the best one?
Everything.
