It is is pretty when the weather is nice.

URI is so close to the beach, which is a necessity for me. The campus is in somewhat of a rural area, but Providence is 30 minutes away, Boston is an hour and a half, Newport is across the bridge, and going home to NY is only a ferry ride away. I love the diverse and involved atmosphere, and everyone is friendly and fun!

A unique aspect of my school is the networking available, particularly to help freshmen assimilate into the student population. Freshmen are placed into learning communities, a form of block scheduling that includes a 1 credit course designed to facilitate networking within the students' major and to ease students into university life. Each dorm is staffed with Resident Assistants that provide programs to help students meet each other and get involved. These tools are extremely helpful aids allowing freshmen to meet people in and out of their major, get involved on campus, and learn about the services the university offers.

The school that I attend now has so much diversity that I can experience different ways of life and cultures every day. Also I believe that the surroundings of the school gives me the best of both worlds; The beach is close, as well as the city. It is a great place to adventure, and meet new people, while learning alot and focusing on school work. Many of the students I have encountered so far are serious about their school work, but also are looking to have the time of their lives!!

The campus at URI is very inviting and friendly. Apart from the schools I have visited, URI was the first school where I felt potentially could be my "new home" for the next 4 years. The school's undeniable spirit at attending one of their basketball games brings family and friends together. Aside from the campus and its activities, the Business school was nominated one of the best business schools in the nation and just by passing through the school's library, I knew that this is where I wanted to present my studies for the next four years.

The University of Rhode Island is a college in which students can learn about their future occupation yet also have a social life. For instance, there is enough time allotted in order to complete one's work, yet there is still plenty of time for extracurricular activities. Additionally, it is conveniently located between Providence and Newport, giving students the best of both worlds.

The location of this school fit me better than the other schools. There was something about the University of Rhode Island that just made me happy and I could see myself being there. I couldn't really tell you what that something was.

Its close enough to home so I can still see my family but far enough away so that I feel independent, also since Its Rhode Island your no more then 40min away from everything you need.
