Around Town

At the University of Rhode Island there is plenty to do for fun. If you enjoy athletics there are numerous amounts of club sports to attend, or if you're into philanthropy and helping others out you can join a fraternity or sorority, which there you will meet hundreds of new people. On campus there are two gyms, and a swimming pool if you enjoy to workout, play basketball, or swim.

The campus regularly hosts entertainers in the large Ryan Center. Clubs and Greek Life are almost always hosting some sort event that the general student body can attend. Never a boring moment on campus!

Freshman who do not bring there cars on campus get a free RIPTA bus pass. RIPTA busses go all around RI and Providence is an hour's bus ride away. Also many weekends there are some sort of sporting event going on, on campus.

Honestly there are so many clubs its crazy. There is something there for absolutely everyone and URI is extremely supportive of all of their sports teams. They provide for their students in every way possible here. I toured the campus during finals week and URI was selling lobsters fresh out of the ocean in the quad and the quad was also filled with puppies for students to come play with just to release some of the stress from finals it was amazing.

Play frisbee on the quad, Go to the beach, Take a train into the city!

There are tons of options at URI, everyone is very friendly and outgoing. There are extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports, greek life, and so much more. It's great, just get out and meet people.

There are many opportunities to have fun here in URI. You can join one or more of the numerous club and student organizations here. There are also fraternities and sororities that you can join.

Ice ring to skate, going for a hike, swimming or diving and creating your own club.

Cool clubs, hang out at the starbucks in hope, enjoy the internet speed, Study, party, take a walk, hang out at the union, get cabin fever.

URI offers many different concerts and performances throughout the year, and there are often many free local shows offered both on campus, and across the state. The beach is a mere 10 minute drive down the line into Naragansett, and Newport is right across the bridge. There are also many local bars and pubs tailored for students, and if you don't mind a little extra driving, there's tons of fun to be had in our little Providence.
