The size is perfect for me. It's in state, so therefore more affordable. It has a film media program that is rapidly growing and expanding and is filled with excellent professors. It's close to the beach and close to Providence (the major city of the area) but still somewhat secluded.

It has a very relaxed atmosphere and people come from many different backgrounds and places. It is also very homey feeling even though it is a larger school.

At URI we are all about having fun while still getting our education. It is a big off-campus living school and most students get to live in beach houses with there friends for there sophomore, junior, and senior years. Living on our own in actual houses sets us apart form a lot of other schools. I feel that students at URI are really a lot more independent than students at other schools because of the way most of us live. This really makes our school unique and it's what I lvoe most about going there!

I found the campus to be breath-taking. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the "quad" and felt like I was at home the moment I stepped foot on campus. The professors at U.R.I. are very respectful to each and every single one of their students and encourage students to work to the best of their abilities.. I feel very secure thanks to the efforts made by the campus security to keep the campus free from violence.

U.R.I. is a great place to earn a degree. Just stay away from all the weed and cocaine in the dorms held by the out of staters from new jersey or massachusetts and find a place to live that is quiet at night so you can get enough sleep. Study alot, write out notes from class again and again to help you memorize and you will do great. Just keep the partying to the weekends.
The girls are so beautiful so its so worth it. oh and the great education you recieve from there is a great way to start a career.

URI used to be a good school. However, due to the recent budget cuts, any student thinking of applying to URI in the future is wasting his/her money and time. The University is wasting the money in places it doesn't need to be and cutting programs and faculty that are very important to the school.

I have a lot of pride about my school and love bragging to my friends and family about the things i do. You will find many people that feel the same way as i do about URI and you wont hear many bad things. The campus is beautiful and is one of the main reasons i chose i URI. The location could not be better; who wouldn't want to go to the beach after a long day of classes?

Even though I am transferring from URI I really did have a great time my freshmen year. I met a lot of great people and had a lot of great experiences so I dont have any regrets. URI is good for a lot of people it just wasnt for me. The campus is beautiful, safe and inviting and the teachers are extremely helpful. You wont have any trouble at all making friends and having a good time!
