It is close to home and has the major that I am interested in.

The marine science courses are very good, the campus is very close to the coast. The campus is also home to some farms for the animal science majors.

The University of Rhode Island is an amazing place, with its famous faculty and its its highly acredited degrees. The main reason that i like it so much however, is due to its distance. It is a quite a distance away from the city, but is also near enough that i can go visit my family when ever I want. Also unlike other colleges that are situated in urban cities, URI is in a nice quiet suburban area which I like alot.

The unique thing about my school is that it has the Talent Development Program. It is a program for student who without their scholarships or assistance with school, minority students would not be able to attend the Unviersity. It also supports its students during a summer session along with a counselor and tutors that each studnet gets to maintain thier GPA while attending the univeristy.

Although the University of Rhode Island is a fairly large school, students often are able to connect with smaller groups and communities. There are many oppotunities for research and growth in different fields. Students often have a sense of the 'bigger picture' and always strive to make our world a better place through higher education.

It was close to home and cheaper than other options. The education-to-price ratio seemed correct for my needs.

the preparation for my career

The University of Rhode Island has an incredible library of historical garments that have been donated by families in the area.

The University of Rhode Island is a school where 61{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students are residents of Rhode Island. I myself am from Rhode Island also. This is a unique quality that most people think isn't a good. "It's like a second high school!" "Don't you want to meet new people?"--a couple of complaints that I hear. If you're shy like me, you appreciate having a few friendly faces when placed in a new environment. I never had to worry about being the awkward kid eating alone because I hadn't made any friends yet.

This school offers a lot more than others when it comes to extra-curricular activites, internships, social life, and events in general. The professors are very intelligent in their fields and most are always willing to help when needed. The school spirit at URI is insane, everyone is always involved with the sports events. But more importantly, the Computer Science program at URI is excellent.

What Probably makes the school very unique is how there is help for every academic subject. There is a building called Roosevelt hall which is there to not only provide advising for students who want to find out what it is they want to do with their college career but also there is assistance for many classes ranging from Chemistry to help with developing essays and other works. Every week there are sessions called SI sessions which are designed to help those struggling with subjects such as biology, math and especially, chemistry.

URI is not a bad school.I wouldn't call it great,but it is a very good school if one is willing to work. It's mostly the students that tarnish it. Compared to other school I considered URI is not in the city, which I like. It is in a small town which is not overwhleming.

It's next to the ocean. That's nice during the summer. It's pretty cheap to enroll.

They have a lot of programs that are offered and different campuses to allow those who do not live on campus to work schooling around their schedule.

The initial reason that URI caught my attention was because of the ambiance of the campus. Although the grounds are not quite "Harvard Yard" caliber, there are still beautiful old trees towering above most of the walkways, and the architecture, especially in the new buildings, is absolutely dazzling. However, the most important factor in my decision to go to URI was their mentality, which is summed up by their slogan: "Think big. We do." Even though Rhode Island is the smallest US state, URI can't be dismissed so easily. It has a feel of a school on the rise.

Uniquely URI is a beautiful university and one that has my intended major. When I decided on what I want to study and do for the rest of my life I decided on a couple of important things. First, was the location, second was my intended major, and third are the people. As I have begun to discover that the first two important things on my list where covered, and the third was amazingly true. The employees are wonderful and so very helpful, you have a question they are there to answer you, unlike many others schools.

The college of Business is a well led college and inspires students to strive for their dreams

I chose to go to URI because they offered special privelages for first generation college students. The fact that they cared for students like us and understood our situations (financially and academically) made me feel like this school was the one for me. The program, known as Talent Development, is a great program at URI that helps minorities get a chance at success. Their support and belief in us is what made me chose URI out of the other schools that I applied to.

Although many state schools have many things in common such as having a large population, sports teams, and a strong sense of school spirit, i believe that the University of Rhode Island has much more to offer. My school is full of different students from all different ethnicities, religions, and nationalities. Not only does the immense diversity lead to acceptance and understanding, but it also enables me to get hands on experience from other cultures through my peers.

I like the location of the school.
