A beautiful area filled with everything I hoped would be included in the college experience my first day there. The campus, while not too large, is the perfect size for exercise while walking from class to class, or just to catch a break and enjoy the weather, and eating outside. I, however, would incorporate more clubs for the ability to make meeting new people a tad easier. After the firs
T year, making connections among classmates, professors, and peers is difficult. Otherwise, on the groups and clubs I’ve already encountered, I had never met such friendly people with the goal to include as many people as possible. My first semester as a freshman was the most perfect I could anticipate for. It’s hard to chose anything else the school needed change for.

It has been fairly easy to resolve financial aid and class scheduling issues (be mindful that you will have to keep tabs on this because they will not typically notify you about discrepancies or payments needed - this may result in a hold on your account, preventing you from registering for classes which can be a nuisance). I stayed on campus my Freshman year, and I have been making an effort to avoid doing it again. It is a different experience which I think is important to have when you attend college, but living with people you do not know is difficult and you will find yourself being annoyed at times (weigh your options about this). New England in general is not always diverse in certain areas, this applies to RIC (there are diversity groups like Harambe). The area is in Providence, which can be alarming at times depending on where you are so be mindful. I think overall, RIC is a great foundation to start building up credentials and experience for a long term career.
I love RIC! It’s a great school for commuters but also has just enough on campus to get you involved and feel like you’re at a bigger school. Definitely recommend any events offered by student activities offices and joining Greek Life! It’s awesome and provides you with so many opportunities!
