Why the hell not?

Introduction
I didn't choose URI, URI chose me. With my 1300 SATs (when the SATs were still hard) I was waitlisted at the University of Rhode Island! When you go to URI you'll realize there is no rhyme or reason to anything the adminsitration does. None. If you're serious about your academic career and you don't want to jump through hoops to find out what classes you need to graduate stay far away from URI.

Campus Life and Social Life
There are a lot of sports and clubs. The majority of which focus on dirnking or illegal drug use. From the rugby team to the athletes everybodies gettin' crunk at URI. There are a lot of parties off campus and a lot of police for our protection. And when i say for our protection I mean they have nothing better to do than mess with college kids. Literally nothing better to do. Thankfully though you can spot the miscreants that threw the party because the URI/Naragansett coalation took a page right out of the Nazi playbook. All party-list houses have bright orange stickers so the community knows they are a problem house and could be facing eviction. So although URI is nothin' but getting messed up and sleeping around, they are doing thier best to stop fun completely. Advertisement
Academics
Depending on your major at URI you will either have more work than is humanly possible to finish, or you're favorite pen will never run out of ink your entire college career. Pharmacy, engineering, and chemistry are obnoxiously hard. Any other liberal arts or business course is more or less a cake walk. Majors like communications are rediculous. You'll find professors that can speak English that think they are smarter than you, but they are not, and the professors that can barely speak English you'll think you're smarter than... and well you probably are. If you sleep with or know your TA you'll get an A without ever showing up to class.

Student Body
Everyone is from New Jersey. That's why the school is called the University of New Jersey at Rhode Island. Some people are from New York, except they are really from Conneticut but they wish they were from New York. Those kids slick up there hair and act tough starting fight but never following through. If you're not drinking, you're smoking weed at URI. Unless you're in the pharmacy program then your making and taking your own drugs.

In Closing...
In closing, if you have 5 to 7 years to waste of your life come to the college on the hill. URI will offer blizzards without cancelled classes, a mediocre beach, and a headache that is called higher education. Don't plan on graduating in four years no matter what your major is. You will recieve no help from faculty or staff and when they do help you be prepared for someone to tell you they steered you in the wrong direction. I hope to see you all at the wonderful, beautiful, crap hole that is URI. WE'RE RHODE ISLAND BORN AND WE'RE RHODE ISLAND BRED AND WHEN WE DIE WE'LL BE RHODE ISLAND DEAD! SO: GO GO RHODE ISLAND ISLAND! GO GO RHODE ISLAND ISLAND! GO RHODE ISLAND U R I!
