From the girl who wanted nothing to do with it, please look into attending URI. It truly is my new home and I would not want it any other way.
The atmosphere
I absolutely fell in love with how I felt on campus and that is one of the biggest factors that should come into play when picking the right school for you. I felt super comfortable and at peace and as cheesy as that sounds I wouldn't want it any other way.
The people
Now I have only been here for about a week but I truly have met some of the best people ever and I'm so grateful.
The sports
Rhode Island is pretty widely known for their sports so if you love going to games or playing than this place is perfect for you.
Location
I am in love with the beach, it's one of my favorite places, so being 15 minutes from the beach is so great.
Greek Life and other activities
There is so much to do for extracurriculars here, there really is no excuse to be bored. College is what you make of it so live it up and get involved.
Academics
And lastly what you're really in college for, getting a degree. URI has such good programs for any major and so many opportunities to do research and go places to learn even more.
