University of Rhode Island Top Questions

The best thing about my school is the clean campus, friendly enviroment, and great academic programs.

The best thing about URI was the access to a lot of different areas of study. There were a lot of different majors and minors a student could explore. The music and art program were very good. The campus is beautiful and the people are diverse and interesting.

I think that the best thing URI offers is the extensive amount of networking and connections that are possible just by simply reading the e-mails sent out to all students.

I would consider the best things are the people and the challenging courses that really make you work for your grade because you're around good people and you feel a sense of satisfaction when all is said and done.

The marine science/wildlife biology programs and proximity to the ocean and forests. Many other schools I applied to had great programs but were an hour or more from the ocean or forests, which makes it difficult to do work for classes. It is easy to take field trips during a 3 hour lab because great areas to do field work are a few minutes away.

The environment because the people are very friendly.

I believe the best thing about my school is the diversity and the fact that it allows students who wouldn't normally be able to enter the university on their own access to the campus through a program called Talent Development which allows financial assitance and admittance to the university.

The best thing about my school is that it is a middle sized school that offers great majors. I have just completed my first semester and have already had a wonderful experience.

The best thing about my school is the Talent Development program, a program that allows underpriveleged minors to achieve a college education when they wouldn't be able to otherwise (due to grades, SAT scores, etc). They provide exceptional financial aid and academic advisors under the condition that the participants attend a 6-week Pre-Matriculation program during the summer preceding their entrance into the school. If it had not been for this program, I wouldn't be where I am today.

The overall energy of the school, including the students and professors, is really great. I feel included and find it easy to make friends, which is awesome. It is also really nice to be able to talk with your professors openly as if the were your peers. So yes i think the best part of my school is the enery of the school, and the people there.
