i'm a sophomore and a biomedical engineering major. i love it here. half of the kids here rent nice houses, which are less than a mile from the beaches, in narragansett and pay less money than you would for a dorm. uri has a dry campus, but if you live in gansett, you can usually find parties within walking distance from your house. most of the kids at "you are high" are prety chill and half of them longboard to class. the only thing that sucks here is the long distance to the mountains, but it is easy to find friends who snowboard that you can get rides with.
