The food system at URI is much like that at many other colleges, but the food itself is quite good. There are a few good places to eat, and a few that should probably be avoided. At URI there are three places to eat that have food that is quite good. In...

Pros: Fun experience, quality education
Cons: You get what you put into it.

In my 5 years at the University of Rhode Island, I have had a lot of fun and learned a lot too. But like most schools of this calibur, you get out of it what you put into it. You can come here for 4 years, do just enough to get by and get a degree, or...

Making friends is the key element to the Intramural Bowling Club. Scores are only looked at on paper because the getting together and enjoying a good game of bowling is the major stress of the club. If you are interested in bowling as a competition, I...

Pros: many programs, beautiful campus, great professors
Cons: none

As a graduate of this school my experience at the University of Rhode Island was great. URI is a medium size school located in the southern part of the state. The school is absolutely beautiful and has a traditional New England look. It has terrific programs in business, pharmacy,nursing,and engineering to name a few. The professors are very dedicated to their students,and the students are top achievers.

Pros: none. 
Cons: above

I have honestly had the worst experience at this college. The faculty is awful, half of the are not even qualified professors and have no idea what the hell they are doing, or how to reason/ grade/ help students. The student body is mainly from Rhode Island, and uninterested in meeting other people, most people i have met are unfriendly, and could care less about your presence. The staff and advising department gave me the complete wrong advice to drop my class and i lost thousands of dollars. The parties are terrible and there is never anything to do on campus. I am definitly transferring next semester and I completely recommend NEVER going here. It is the worst university in quite possibly the entire country.
