University+of+Rhode+Island

The University of Rhode Island also known as URI is a great school. I received a very good education. However, while attending I was more interested in it's "Social" scene!! URI was ranked the number 1 party school in the country for three consecutive years. It was very challenging to balance the "socializing" and the school work!! It has a beautiful campus, with old stone buildings surrounding a large grass area known as the "quad." As a matter of fact it was not uncommon to see movies being filmed on campus! The school is located about 5 minutes from the beaches of Narragannsett, 20 minutes from the city of Providence and 15 minutes from Newport. This provided for great trips on the weekends! URI is a great school in a great location. I had a **GREAT TIME**!
