University of Rhode Island Top Questions

I believe that a person that loves the city and does not love nature would not like this school. the school is very social but you also are going to have some time alone. also, if you will be homesick a lot.

I think a person that does not like a large amount of people should not attend this school. It is a large school, and you will always be meeting new people, but large schools are not for everyone.

Everyone should have the chance to educate themselves and earn a degree. However, there are still people who waste the opportunity given to them; by partying, drinking and basically squandering their chances at a decent career. That is why I think ,that people whose goal is to have personal fulfillment at the present, rather than a prosperous future should not attend this school. Since those that party excessively and run amok harm not only themselves, but also others who truly want to study and prepare for their future.

I wouldn't agree with not anyone attending college. I will say anyting that is motivated and determinated to go to college should attend the University of Rhode Island or any college of their choice.

People who attend this University should be very open minded and open to trying new things.

I feel as though individuals who do not appreciate the idea of gaining knowledge/an education should not be able to recieve a spot at the University of Rhode Island. If a student did not take the time out to work hard in high school, they will be less inclined to put effort into making the most of their college education. Plenty of students are given the opportunity to attend this University, but some come here just to enjoy the social atmosphere, rather than the rewarding educational aspects of this amazing school, which is something I will never agree with.

Anyone who isn't looking to explore a variety of interesting topics on top of major-class requirements. The University of Rhode Island offers dozens of programs atop Major-Related fields, including the Leadership Program and the Honors Program, among others. Students at the University of Rhode Island take part in some of the country's most interesting courses, from General Nutrition to the Influence of New Media in Society. The University is a lace for learners, and if you don't desire to explore new ideas, this University may not be for you.

Someone who is not a social person, someone who is not a drinker, and who does not like parties. There are ways to stay away from such things, but for the most part, that is a lot of the social living at URI.

I think URI is for everyone! There are different activities for everyone to participate in and they will fit in and make many new friends

If you like to be in the city and where everything you might need is close by it might be difficult because the city is about 45 mintues away. The area is very quiet unless there is a party and the students do get quite rowdy.

Because of its size, The University of Rhode Island is a great choice for any applicant. Since the University offers various majors and social interests, any student can find their place on campus to fit in. For the biology majors, there are clubs such as the Aspiring Medical Professionals that meet weekly. On the other hand, For the more liberal arts students interested in English and or Journalism, there are writing clubs, newspaper and even an editorial for students to engage in. No matter who you are or what you love, the University of Rhode Island has everything for everyone.

The type of person that should attend URI is a very dedicated one. As most people know URI is considered a party school and there can be many distractions throughout the school year. Putting your school work first will benefit you in the long run! Also being a friendly and outgoing person will help out a great deal, there are many opportunities to make friends on campus!

Some on who is unmotivated and does not really want to be there.

A person that needs a lot of special attention, someone that could easily get lost in the masses.

Anyone who is not a four-season kind of person shouldn't even consider the school. There is alot of uphill walking involved along the campus which is good fro exercise but not perferred by most people. Also the school consists of 13,000 people, if you are the kind of person who likes to know everyone personally this may not be the kind of school for you. I recommend not attending this school if you look for alot of on-campus entertainment because everything is not in walking distance its roughly 15 minutes to go anywhere.

Someone who doesn't want to take education seriously.

anyone who goes to the school for the marine biology program, with the goal of being a dolphin/whale trainer... most of these kids drop out the first year when they find out they have to take "hard classes" (physics, chemistry, calculus, etc)

The kind of person who should not attend this school is someone who has a major that the school does not offer

A person who likes to learn, but also likes to meet new and interesting people. I have met people from all over the world. Most of the people here are friendly and willing to help. Also URI offers a lot of oppertunities, whether you are looking for research, internships, clubs, intermural sports, sports, etc. URI has a very nice college atmosphere.

the kind of perosn who should attend this school needs to be very goal oriented and has to really love a small state such as rhode island.
