Im a freshman here this year at URI and overrall i did not have a fun year here. The school is really strict when it comes to partying or even taking a sip of alcohol and they basically ruin the fun. Also if you are from out of state Rhode Island people think that your arrogant which makes no sense. Another thing is that the school has is no bus or shuttle system to drive kids to Naraghansett, Wakefield and Bonnet Shores where all the parties are. This leads to drunk driving because kids have no other way to get to parties then drive. The parties are also twenty minutes away except for the frats which have good parties ocassionaly. Many people transfer from this school each and year and I will be one in the fall. If you want to go to a fun school where there is partying and a lot to do on weekends then do not go to URI because the administration does not care about its kids and same with the faculty. All they want from you is money. If I was someone looking at a school like URI i would rather go to UCONN, Cortland or Syracuse where the teachers and administration actually care about the students.
