RWU is not as it seems to advertise, which is a given at any school. It's housing is ridicuslously expensive but most of the dorms are shit. Students are mainly very shallow, stupid, and actually really lame to put it in better words. There are certain social niches and people you might find relatable or different and smart, but they are few and even those choices are limited. i looked up the studentsreviews before I came and was discouraged by the negative comments saying the social life sucks, people suck, and basically all the typical attributes at RWU, but I wanted to go and like it so badly that I put on a positive attitude and figured it really is what you make it and the comments were biased. and it is, but there really isn't much to make out of it and i learned that those negative comments were actually quite right, even for people like me who can have a good time anywhere. my first year i was friendly, open to everything and everyone, and made a good time for myself, and made good friends. however, after that it started getting stale on campus and even off around the surrounding area. branching out at this campus is extremely difficult if you are of a unique personality which i think many people are but they are rare here for some reason. this school is perfect and suitable for those in the surrounding new england area since everyone is from around there mostly or new york and everyone either knows each other or are similar so they have lasting experiences. i have been to all aspects of the social life, from partying and going out at nights, smoking to numb the boredom, and just about everything, and yes did let myself have a good time, but it gets old very fast and even going to the city or clubs and bars is tasteless and not as fun as other colleges are. in a way the experience i concluded with here is just...lame. even the few people i became friends with became stale company and attempting to breaking away and finding better more like-minded people is difficult because people here are needy and unimaginative and cannot think outside of themselves and their cliques and are afraid of meeting new people. aside from social environment, the education is lacking unless you are in law, architecture, communications, and marine bio. teachers are critical yet their assignments are jokes and the advisors are useless in making sound life or academic decisions. they will fuck up your transcript. transferring is not the best option, it is actually a huge risk which might ruin your future and it is best for you to suck it up all 4 years but if you know of better then go for it. i know many people who are the typical students here and are happy. the girls are spoiled, judgemental, poseurs, and dress up to go to a shoddy small get together to have nattys spillt on their going-out forever21 dresses by drunk beefy and extremely predictable dumb bros, take milllions of facebook pictures, and probably hook up with said bros and those bros will probably talk about their latest lays at the gym as they often do, focus on sounding overtly masculine, try to talk like the rappers they idolize, and everyone will eventually graduate and the girls will graduate with and marry the bros that felt them up over a handle of burnettes and they will have children, live in their partents' homes, and teach kindergarten and become alcoholics. if this traditional northeast life sounds familiar and true to you, then come here. there is a feeling of lacking at this school, that makes it unlike a true college experience. everything is just less than mediocore and the only people having blasts are the sheltered graduated high school students from surrounding areas.

There are some great professors that really care about the students. They can tell you what working in accounting, management, marketing or computing will be like after you graduate. They teach you the stuff you'll need to know. There are also a bunch of profs that don't give a sh__. They show up, teach and go home. They can' really tell you anything about what its like to be a manager or an accountant. All they do in class is go over the same stuff that's in the text. Going to class is pretty much a waste but attendance counts so you have to go. The value you get really depends on the profs you pick. Be sure to ask before you pick classes. Make sure the people you ask are looking for a great class not just an easy A. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Faculty Accessibility: D Have a Question?
