-Most popular groups are frats and sororities. Huge greek life here at URI, many groups to join. Tons of clubs and organizations to join, from chess club to a political club. Sports teams are great to watch on campus! Intramural sports are also a big deal here, with a lot of people participating. They are a lot of fun I do them each semester.
-I'm involved with the Entrepreneurship Club, im president. It's a fun time, we hear about kids that have already started a business, and we have guest speakers come in and tell us about their experience. I am involved with intramural sports, I love playing indoor soccer.
-Some students will be shy and always close their door, and some students will always leave their door open. But the dorms have a good environment, and there are always opportunities to make new friends just by exploring the dorms.
-Theater has a great program here, they always put on shows, and have good turnouts. Athletic events are constantly growing, they get bigger turnouts each semester and are fun to go to!
-Dating scene is what I would consider normal. Relationships happen often and are obviously acceptable, but most students choose the single life. If you are looking to find someone there are PLENTY of people to choose from, and if you are dating/want to find other couples to hang out with it is easy to do so.
-I met my closest friends by networking with my best friend. I had a best friend from the first college I attended, Suffolk University, and we both transferred to URI. He was from Rhode Island, so I met all his high school friends and friends that go here. They are now my closest friends at the school. I also have a couple close friends that I had many classes with over the semesters. Class is a great way to meet people.
-If I'm awake at 2am on a tuesday, Im probably up late eating/watching tv with my girlfriend. We love to stay up late a few times a week together. When I lived in the dorms though, I stayed up late with my floor mates every single night until even 4am a lot of times. It was a blast.
-People party all the time here. If there is a certain day you like to party, you will definitely be able to find people that are partying on that day. Every day of the week there are people somewhere, doing something, having a great time. Just gotta find them.
-Frats/sororities are huge here. Many groups to choose from, and they have a great time. Big school for greek life.
-Last weekend I met my friends out at the bar on Friday (Im 21) and on Saturday I met up with my friends at their house to hang out and watch the basketball games, and then we walked to a house party down the street. Off campus life.
-On a saturday, you can go to a movie, go bowling, or check out one of the many great places to eat around here. There are gyms, and a rock climbing gym too. There are plenty of ways to get out without drinking around here. Its Rhode Island, everything is under 20 min away.
-Off campus is great for house parties. Living off campus, you live in neighborhoods where all the houses around you have students living in them, its sick! When you are 21 there are great bars to go to. But off campus consists of hanging out with friends in houses, parties, bars, and great restaurants that you have to go to. Providence is close too, and you can do anything you can think of there.
