Rhode Island College Top Questions

They will often have students working in the buildings of the college as receptionists and other jobs related to this. Although it seems like a good idea, it is very frustrating when the student is not well informed regarding the information of the building in which they are working and simply take down your name and number for an actual employee, professor, chair, etc. of the building to call you back which they usually do approximately a week later or never do at all. Very difficult when figuring out things such as finacial issues.

Not enough events

Parking.

The only thing I find to be somewhat frustrating at Rhode Island College is the need for space in the library. In general, the library is extremely resourceful and many students enjoy using the space to study. The major setback is the amount of space and computers during the final weeks of each semester. When finals are approaching the computers are always occupied, and table space for group study sessions can be scarce.

It takes forever to find a parking spot.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of support by academic and financial advisors. I went to Johnson & Wales and their academic/financial advisors are superb and highly concerned about their students that they are guiding. Rhode Island College lacks this essential and VERY important aspect that every student that is paying them have a right to. These services are a students right to have and to exceed their expectations like Johnson & Wales offered. I left Johnson & Wales after I realized that I do not want to be apart of corporate America or the pri vate sector.

There's not really any required functions that help freshman get to know each other and the school. They'd probably be called lame, but I bet most kids would secretly appreciate it. Also, there hardly any fun clubs or things to do.

I wish that professors had held students to higher academic standards. I learned the most from professors who pushed students to work hard.

The most frustrating thing is the amount of time it takes to find a parking spot because there are not enough parking spots.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the geography department. It is based out of the political science department limiting the number and variety of courses available. This limits my education.
