University of Rhode Island

They are awesome. Best learning environment and loving the basketball games here at the Ryan Center. Awesome snacks too!

Beautiful school! Didn’t get to do a tour but managed to be told about all the hidden gems by the amazing librarian that has worked there for 20 years! Showed us the wall of fame on the 3rd floor. Amazing. Loved the charm of all the nestled buildings. Can’t wait to go back for a tour.

URI/Memorial Union/Main campus isn’t doing anything about the RIPTA buses leaving early and not having enough room in the roundabout for the 66 and 64 to function correctly. URI needs to open a complaint line for buses, specific to RIPTA, and needs to be more involved. RIPTA does not provide customer support and they just put you on a hang-up hold. They should pay someone at RIPTA for more lines so there isn’t standing room only on the 66 home every night (in-the-dark, standing-room-only isn’t that safe for your kid on the highway) Abusive bus driver on the 64 with the white stache cuts up passes and kicks kids off the bus and URI hasn’t done anything with the complaints in 15 years. So there you go, they want everyone to commute in with a car I guess. They need a new parking lot btw. Pl

What an amazing experience. The Move In reception fantastic. All the students that were there available to help carry your things to the dorm. So friendly. The ambience fantastic. Five stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 💛 👌

Likes: some good programs (engineering, pharmacy, nuclear, ocean eng., etc), fairly nice campus, student involvement is adequate, Emporium (Rhode house), IEP house. Dislikes: PC culture (we got an email offering counseling to students after Trump was elected), towing, price of parking pass (over 250$ last I checked), dining hall food, parking availability (parking is the worst), most frats/sororities (some are chill, majority are not).
