Being a local, I remember in high school considering URI to be the fallback for all the townies who had nowhere else to go. It took a lot of convincing from a lot of people that this was actually a good university and worth going to. Now I find the most common stereotypes to be that most kids here are here because their mommies and daddies want them to go to college. URI students are commonly construed as spoiled brats who don't care about academics and only want to party.

They drink ALOT, do alot of drugs, and almost always transmit some sort of STD. And alot of out of state applicants get accepted so URI can get more money.

People seem to think that URI is all about partying and getting wasted every night. Honestly if thats all you want from school, then URI can provide that. But if you want a good education at a good price, its perfect. URI is what you put into it. And afterall who says you cant party and do well in school.
