University of Rhode Island Top Questions

At times it is difficult to get academic advisement at a time when students really need it, like at the end of a term or at mid-terms. This kind of support net is critical at the beginning of an academic endeavour, and I'm afraid I missed out on things that I may have been more successful at due to this lack of guidance.

The worst thing about my school is the cold weather in the winters. You have to walk up hill to your classes and in the snow it tends to be extremely messy.

The worst thing about my school is that it is on a hill. Walking to class gets rough because the available parking spots are at the bottom of campus (which means bottom of the hill) and the wind is enough to drive anyone crazy. There is a bus, but that is not always a guarantee, especially when you are already about to be late for class.

The location and the number of awful teachers

The worst thing about URI is the snow removal process; they don't really know what they're doing.

I don't like that it's kind of in the middle of nowhere. Kingston is a small town. You can't walk to go do things, you have to have a car.

It floods when it rains a lot

A lot of people who come here are local or came with a group of friends. I though a lot more people would be reaching out to try to make more friends here.

Besides the rainy weather that plagues Rhode Island, the only thing I don't like is the food because I like to cook my own food myself, and when you have a meal plan you can't cook your own food. But if you live in the apartments on campus you can cook your own food which is what I do now as an upperclassman.
