University of Rhode Island Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Rhode Island? Why?

I would have to say that there isn't anything bad to say about my school. Everything is great and I have made great memories during my stay there. I would say that my experience at the University of Rhode Island has been the best from the food, people, academics and overall living on campus !

I think that making URI a dry campus was a very bad idea. I understand the reasoning behind trying to curb underage drinking, however all parties occur off campus and students who live on campus are forced to drive. This increases the likelihood that students will drink and drive.

It's hard to find the flaws in a school I'm still adapting to, but I do dislike the landscape it was built upon. Having classes a mile apart is bad enough, so the vertical incline is unnecessary. Another disagreement I could think of is the lack of space in the two diners my school offers that serves thousands of students hourly (I am excluding the diner that cleans my wallet out). Waiting in a line that circles the diner all the way outside in the winter time is not ideal.

One of the wost things at the University of Rhode Island would have to be the fact that classes get filled up so quickly. Ifind this to be one of the most annoying things because as a freshman or sophmore you get the last picks for classes, and many times fun or interesting classes are the first ones to go and it is often very hard to get a permission number to register for the class.

Amanda

I would consider the fact that half the students at my school live locally and compute to school each day. I therefore miss out on meeting a whole population of kids.

Erica

The worst thing about URI is the fact that housing requires a meal plan (if you aren't in an apartment which is mainly offered to Seniors). My current roomate is gluten free and eating at the cafeteria was impossible for her. She was paying for food she couldn't even eat!

Julie

The worst thing about my school was the fact the many people moved off campus after their first year which kind of took away from the whole living in a dorm college experience.

The irrigation system is not good at all. The campus floods in the rainy season and is pretty bad.

The rain. I never in a million years expected myself to own a pair of rain boots. But its very popular at my school for the amount of rain that we get. I guess because we are only 10 mins away from the beach we tend to get a lot more rain then snow. Walking to class in the rain is never fun and sitting in class in wet clothes haha
