University of Rhode Island Top Questions

Party School.

They are all alchohlics Everyone at URI is dumb

we get high aka you are high (uri)

Being a local, I remember in high school considering URI to be the fallback for all the townies who had nowhere else to go. It took a lot of convincing from a lot of people that this was actually a good university and worth going to. Now I find the most common stereotypes to be that most kids here are here because their mommies and daddies want them to go to college. URI students are commonly construed as spoiled brats who don't care about academics and only want to party.

Mostly from NJ and NY and ruin the atmosphere of the campus

Party College

not sure

They drink ALOT, do alot of drugs, and almost always transmit some sort of STD. And alot of out of state applicants get accepted so URI can get more money.

People seem to think that URI is all about partying and getting wasted every night. Honestly if thats all you want from school, then URI can provide that. But if you want a good education at a good price, its perfect. URI is what you put into it. And afterall who says you cant party and do well in school.

All Jersey people High level of team spirit

One major stereotype is that URI is a major party school.

They're morons, popped-collar rejects that go to the clubs in Providence and pickle their livers every night. More or less the dumbest of the dumb, with the exception of the science people, who are so competitive and stressed that it makes you a little sad to watch. Sunshine and rose petals, basically.

A stereotype about URI is that it is a party school. A stereotype about the students would be that we are all Jersey girls and guys and come from rich families.

The stereotypes are that this is a second rate school that should be used as a safety school.
