University of Rhode Island Reviews

It's a pretty cool place, not that much stuff to do outside of campus. Overall, the professors are great. The biology program is amazing as well as psychology. But, the chemistry department could use a ton of work. They should honestly just wipe the slate clean and start fresh. There is only about 2 good chemistry professors, all of the other ones do not explain material to the extent that it needs to be explained.

It is in a perfect location, very close to providence and very close ot Narragansett! However, if you are not involved with Greek Life or Club Sports there is a good chance you will not have a social life. There are fun things to do like basketball games etc, but my advice would be to definitely join something or else your experience will not be worth while. They need to remove dry campus policy so that parties can be held on campus more.

Parties are invite-only and I felt like it was very much like high school. I do a club sport and at other schools, it's at most $100 to participate, mine cost over $300!! I felt like there were so many cliques and most students do not live on campus. I am not from Rhode Island and came here knowing no one, and felt very isolated a lot of the time. Academics are okay, but nothing spectacular. Hard to find something good to eat as a vegetarian.
