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.

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.
