The best thing about the University of Rhode Island is that is has a great program for the major of my choice: Fisheries Technology. It was one of the first schools in the country to have this program and i have heard nothing but great things about it.

The best thing about URI is its location. It is about 15 minutes away from beaches, 40 minutes away from Providence, 30 minutes away from Newport, and a few hours away from New York City or mountains in Vermont and New Hampshire. The University is located in a small town, but a student can easily and quickly access a variety of different locations and landscapes.

The best thing about my school is the variety of programs available. There are several groups that organize concerts and other entertainment and a wide variety of student organizations to participate in. Greek life is present as well as several professional fraternities. Apart from satisfying interests, my school offers many resources to help students succeed in school and afterward. There is an entire building devoted to "University College" which offers tutors, academic advising, and information on college success. Furthermore, there are frequently resume workshops, career panels, and career fairs to help students find and secure jobs that they will love.
