Greek life is pretty big...

Students leave their dorms open all of the time. I'm invovled with the IEP program for german. I have a boyfriend who lives in the new TI house on the german floor, for IEP students, so i am there all the time studying mostly. If i'm up until 2 am on a tues, it's because i'm finishing hw due on wednesday. not fun. Theater isn't very big, and athletic events aren't either, at least in the engineering feild. Everyone is too busy doing hw, or partying in their free time. There is a very limited amount of partying at the TI house, it's usually just among the students who live there. I met my closest friends either outside of school, working, or from freshmen classes. Last weekend i was studying and freaking out for my last final which ended up not being bad at all, go figure. Saturday night i usually hang out with my boyfriend, either go to his house and watch a movie, maybe drink a little, or go to my house and hang out with my family and watch movies. Drinking is common in the engineering major because it's high stress, and i find it difficult to sleep at night because my head is buzzing with so much to do. Having a drink with friends to wind down is fairly relaxing.

People smoke pot in the woods behind the dorms and yet i never see anyone do anything about it. The RAs allow drinking in the dorms, and i see students staggering around drunk at all hours of the night. A girl ran past my dorm TOPLESS in the first week of school.....yeah..so much for a dry campus. The rules are not enforced at ALL. fraternities/sororities get away with bloody murder, as does pretty much everyone else.

Welcome to URHigh! Think that's funny? Buy the shirt. Weed flows in from every corner of the US, but stay away from the local stuff, it's junk. Dating at URI is mostly a joke, few couples don't cheat. Don't date, the title will later bite you in the ass. Enjoy the endless amounts of girls and guys that surround you. A repeat now and then never hurts. Basketball games are one of the few things URI students rally around. You pregame, get plastered, fill up a water bottle or flask, and head out the door to the game. One day we'll make it to March Madness, we're usually just about one or two games away. The party scene at URI can be non-existent, or the craziest thing ever depending on who you know. Greek parties are the best because the numbers are controlled, your house doesn't get fucked up by some random dick, the booze is endless, the girls are crazy, and the pledges drive sober home. Thirsty Thursdays are all about the bar scene, and people rarely make it to Friday morning classes. A GREAT party school.

social life is good. One bad thing is that it is a DRY CAMPUS. i dont drink very often. But having a dry campus forces people to leave campus to drink. We all know that college students drink. They put themselves in danger every time they leave. I have had to leave campus multiple times to go pick up my friends at houses because no one is sober. It is almost more dangerous to have a dry campus!

SEC is reallly popular and truly fun to be a part of. I'd reccommend this club to everyone !

I was very lucky to be paired up with a great roommate freshman year whom I also lived with sophmore year. The only reason why I did not live with her junior year is because she wanted to stay on campus and I was moving off. Most people I've spoken to have had good experiences as well and you can always change roommates, the housing department seems to be good about that. People do party in the dorms starting on thursday but it didn't really bother me. I found it relatively easy to go to bed, which i need to do since I am on the rowing team and wake up at 5 am. Fraternities and Sororietes are very popular on campus and greek life is big. The beach is near by and that is always an option to go to off campus there is also rock climbing in lincoln and warwick and providence always have things to do.
