University of Rhode Island Top Questions

Very smart and friendly. Always willing to help each other out and to help each person understand each topic.

Friendly once you get to know them...and very helpful

My classmates are eager to learn and be successful.

My classmates are fun, outgoing people who know when to have fun and when to do work.

My classmates range from hard working to barely showing up for class. It's different each time. When we do group projects that's when you learn your classmates the best and know who wants to succeed and who doesn't care. You want team members who don't mind studying extra hours.

I do not feel that there are certain clicks and popular groups. I felt that the URI campus was very sociable and gave the students a warm welcome feeling.

Do not join a Frat. (unless you are from New Jersey, then you will fit right in)

The kids here can be a little clicky sometimes and you really have to find your own niche. People tend to stay with the same kids that they knew in highschool and don't really make too much of an effort to meet new people, so if your from out of state it might be harder to make friends. If you find a club or activity that interests you though, you'll find its much easier to meet people.

I was out of the mainstream in college, I wasn't part of greek life, and i didn't really follow any of the trends or dress like most of the other people on there way to class. Leggings and Uggs just weren't for me, but I wasn't the only one.

I wasn't too involved with many student activities. All i did extra was joined the catholic center. That was really good to meet people like me. We also took a trip to new orleans to help rebuild which was a great experience!
