University of Rhode Island Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Rhode Island accurate?

Dylan

Yes, most of the out-of- staters are there just to get girls by prying them with weed and cocaine they drop out after a year and end up working for their rich parents. But the in-staters work as hard as they can so they can escape being poor and hopeless. I'm an in-stater and can't wait to prove myself and hopefully start a fullfulling career that will raise me from poverty.

Alex

Yes! I Know I do, while still being able to focus on school that is.

Julie

NO! We definitely have a good time, but we have a dry campus which has lowered that stereotype and created a much more serious atmosphere.

Caroline

This is very true...a lot of people go home on the weekends too

Samantha

Yes, but there are plenty of people who don't, so if you're not a drinker you can still have a fun experience at the school.

Ashley

yes

Gina

Yes

Mitch

I think we have extremely turned around that stereotype and have successfully beaten back that stereotype. We are a large group of very motivated individuals who do very well.

Brenden

There are a lot of parties, especially due to off campus housing, but I do believe there are other schools that party a lot more. As for pot smoking, I don't notice any that would be considered out of the ordinary.

Kelly
