    URI is a great school and has a lot of clubs and programs. It is really focused on greek life which could be good or bad depending on the person. One of the biggest downfalls is how much money they try to get out of you, and the lack of parking spots so tickets are common. ...Continue reading

    This is a science school and if you go for the right major it can really pay off. The environment here is great and the people here are friendly. Don't mind living here at all. Food here is alright, could be better, so many things to do here if you are involved. The grounds always look nice. Some of the buildings are old, and have been maintained over the years. There are a lot of athletic people, the gyms are usually busy. Every week there is something new: sport games, free hotcoco, recitals, pep ralleys, etc. ...Continue reading

    School sucks regardless of where you go, however the social aspects is great because of the diversity all over campus and the open-mindedness of the students. This school is simply amazing. The location is great we are about 15 mins from the beach and 45 mins away from downtown RI where the malls are. The people are welcoming and are ready to THINK BIG just like the motto says. And there are plenty of Opportunities for students. It took me a year to get in the groove, but now that my classes are more specific to what I want, I really love it. ...Continue reading

    I transferred here and it was a great decision to do so. I got a grab & go bagel w egg & cheese- the cheese was old & was darker around the edges & had crusted stuck onto the wrapping of the bagel. The internet kicks me out daily & the school outsources education. 1 example: an English teacher with a strong Russian accent Lots of current construction but the end results will definitely be worth it. The sports teams are alright but not much school spirit on campus. ...Continue reading

    It's alright. The staff seems to be dumber than most of the students in terms of common sense, which is scary considering how unintelligent most of the students are. The food is also downright terrible most of the time, and referred to as looking edible rather than good on their best days. Great for engineering though. Most professors are super nice, friendly, and laidback. The students are really nice and friendly as well. Not sure if I've even met a rude person here. They're not on your back about anything and really don't care what you do, which is great. Parking is a disaster and construction gets annoying, but I still love it here! ...Continue reading

They do a great job of nickel and diming you so that your bill grows by a couple thousand every semester. Classes fill up quickly also, so planning ahead is important.

    Really beautiful, great academics, needs more social opportunities. It is full of greek life, and out of staters specifically from NJ, NY, and MA. There are a ton of opportunities to make friends, lots of clubs. Side note* the campus is also a giant hill, so good luck on your calves. Also, have a car too. Because there is literally nothing to do oncampus However, now that I'm a commuter I appreciate the education I receive regardless of how I feel about the campus. Although it is pretty aggravating that I have to walk a mile to get to class from my car... ...Continue reading

    It's alright. The staff seems to be dumber than most of the students in terms of common sense, which is scary considering how unintelligent most of the students are. The food is also downright terrible most of the time, and referred to as looking edible rather than good on their best days. Great for engineering though. Most professors are super nice, friendly, and laidback. The students are really nice and friendly as well. Not sure if I've even met a rude person here. They're not on your back about anything and really don't care what you do, which is great. Parking is a disaster and construction gets annoying, but I still love it here! ...Continue reading
