Rhode Island College

Everyone makes you feel included.

Some professors aren't always what they seem, I suggest using rate my professor.

Inexpensive. Caring professors.

Disorganized, dead social scene.

Clubs, social life, good professors, experts in fields

Class availability

I liked the film class specifically

The online classes, social life, food and dorms

I'll skip over academics because that really is an individualized experience. If you work hard and do what you're supposed to do, you'll get optimal results. If you don't, you won't. I liked all of the buildings being walking distance spread out on one smaller campus. The grounds are pretty well maintained and there are lots of places to sit outside and study while enjoying the weather when it's warmer. The Student Services office was massively helpful for a number of different things and if they couldn't answer my specific questions, they connected me with the folks who could. The Disability Services office really went to bat for me when a professor tried to ignore my legally-protected accommodation for an exam. They made an already tense and stressful situation easier to handle.

Parts of the campus aren't terribly well-lit at night so just be aware of your surroundings walking to your dorm or vehicle after dark. I never had a bad experience but it's still something to be aware of.

I was 40 when I started so my experience is probably different than others. I liked that I was finally getting it done and they had classes that started at 7:00 PM that I could take after work.

I'm not sure anything was bad.
