Local Places? (Nails/Boba)

My niece is graduating HS & starting at University of RI soon - I’m trying to be thoughtful about the gift, in addition to money I wanted to try and find some good nail salons nearby and since she loves it, a boba place too & try to buy gift certificates from them as well so she can take some time to treat herself- but I’m several states away & google searching is proving to be more annoying than helpful.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good nail salons and/or boba places near the school?

Ty.

Merit Scholarship

Do they give you a semester to get your GPA back up above 2.8? Or will they take away the merit right away?

Will I enjoy uri if I don’t care for Greek life

My friend who goes to uri had trouble making friends because she wasn’t in Greek life first semester but second semester she joined and then made friends. She’s an extrovert and I’m quiet. If I go to uri and have no interest in Greek life, will I still be able to make friends and have a good time?

What happened to the Graduate student house listing webpage?

This website for housing was under the graduate student association where people listed their housing offers and whatnot. It shows the error " [gravityview id=’2053′] ." Does anybody know what happened?

off campus housing for freshman?

hey guys! i’m thinking about attending URI this fall, but would like to live off campus. it wasn’t super clear to me when looking at their online resources, is that allowed for first years?

if so, would it be possible to get a one bedroom apartment somewhere within commuting distance? i noticed most off campus students rent whole houses but i would be living with my partner so i’d prefer one bedroom as i don’t have extra roommates (yet).

Freshman out-of-state average cost???

What is the typical yearly cost including housing and meal plan for freshmen out of state? I have a 40K scholarship as well. I'm assuming somewhat around (hopefully under) 30k. Are there any hidden fees I should know about?

should i attend?

hello! i'm a 1gli senior from rural north carolina. i applied because my friend wanted me to and i got in w a 11k a year academic scholarship. this is before any finaid stuff (which will put me very close to a full ride). if im gonna be paying 35k a year, i have some questions to help me make a choices for well, my future! (given i dont get into an ivy or my dream school here in nc)

my questions: -are the dorms/food halls decent? like will i not die of food poisoning or black mold. i literally have had 2/3 of my meals be shitty school food so for as long as its edible ill live. -is winter up there... manageable? i'm used to winters where you'll be fine with a light jacket😭😭 -how are the education and art/bio programs? i got accepted into the elementary ed major and i may double major in art or bio idk tbh... -i'm not much of a party person, or fit for a sorority. i also don't go out much at all...😅 i'm a nerd and live a boring life -is it lgbt friendly? i'm from the rural deep south so really if i won't get lynched i'll be happy.

  • opportunity for jobs after? i'll likely return to nc afterwards or somewhere else to get a masters.

URI Opinions

I do not actually attend this school, but I am looking into transferring here. I know Redditt isn't the best place to get information from, but what are the pros and cons of school/campus life?

Certificate program

Hey, I was thinking about attending for a certificate in cyber security close to the providence campus.. I was wondering if anyone could give me a more in depth or personal opinion of the certificate program URI has and would it be worth it? How much it would cost etc, I've looked on the website of course but I'd really rather hear it from the actual students.

EA release Soon?

Anybody know if the EA for URI will come out soon? I know that the people who applied before October already heard, but I assume most did it closer to December 1st (including myself!)

Any particular date in mind for when it could come out? Thanks!

What programs are ran in the College of Business

Hi everyone,

I currently am running a Mac, and the College of Business advises against owning them. I do not know what programs they need to run that are only Windows OS specific.

If anyone knows please let me know. I do love my Mac so I want to keep it instead of getting a Windows laptop.
