University of Rhode Island Top Questions

Tell us about the sports scene on campus.

Basketball was the big sport but now the hype has died down. Football games are fun but we generally aren't very good.

Jonathan

The sports scene isn't very strong unless you're involved in them. The student body doesn't really rally behind the teams and I haven't seen much in the way that seriously changing. The student body does respect athletes though and the university does bend a little to accommodate their needs as they have extra time demands, which I believe to be appropriate. If you don't get on a sports team, which recruits and has walk on tryouts, then you can participate in club sports and other student recreation activities. The campus itself is pretty athletic.
