College Prowler Take
URI has a lot to offer students, and they have just about everything they need within walking distance. The Union is one of the most popular places for students on campus. Since there is a high volume of commuters at URI, it is a good place to go during downtime and in between classes. Residents also enjoy and benefit from all that the Union has to offer. Students can get food, play games, get their hair done, join or learn about student organizations, or just hang out, all in one building. Most students who live on campus do not need to go off campus to find what they are looking for because just about everything is accessible through campus facilities. The Emporium is another place that has a lot of stores and eateries for students to enjoy. Since the URI campus is in a somewhat remote area, it is essential that URI has a variety of things available for students in order to keep them coming back. The campus has a lot of cool attractions, like the Ryan Center, which holds a lot of sporting events and concerts. Also, the gym is a great retreat for students who have some extra time and want to work out. Overall, there are few complaints about the facilities and activities on campus. Students Speak Out

The gym, track, and pool are excellent, and the computer labs are great. On the Bay Campus, the facilities stand alone in quality in the oceanography and ocean engineering fields and are recognized nationwide.

I have everything I need on campus. Food, books, supplies; whenever I need something I just go to the Union or the Emporium. I feel like Wal-Mart and those places are far away, and I can usually get what I need here [on campus]. |

I’m glad we have the Emporium. I’m not exactly sure if it is part of campus, but it is right off Upper College Road. There are a bunch of fast food restaurants up there and most of them deliver to the dorms. There’s a CVS and bookstore, coffee shops, tanning place, salon; it’s really convenient. |

I love the Union. I’m always there in between my classes. You have the bookstore, a bank, the Ram’s Den, Ronzio’s, pool tables, and an arcade. It’s a pretty chill spot. Grab some food, play some games, you can even get your hair cut or buy some flowers. Also, I love when people come and set up booths (mini malls)! |

Favorite Things To Do
Most students like to hang out at Union during the week. There are places to eat and games to play. There are pool tables and an arcade for students to enjoy. Kids will also just hang out on the Quad, which is just a grassy area in the middle of campus. On nice days, people will play Frisbee, sunbathe, or just relax. There are also special events held at URI. Plays are performed at the URI Theatre, guest speakers come, comedians perform, and concerts are held. During basketball season, everyone loves to go to the Ryan Center, show their Rhody spirit and support the team.
There is always something to do on campus. In between classes, students will study at the library, meet with friends at the Union, workout at the gym, go shopping or grab something to eat at the Emporium. There are also a number of events going on throughout the days for students to check out. There are workshops on diversity, art exhibits, and concerts. Venders are also known to come to URI and set up “mini malls” to sell various items such as posters, jewelry, and clothes. Everything that is not on campus, like a bar or bowling alley, is just down the line in Narragansett.
Coffeehouse on Campus

Movie Theater on Campus
- There is no movie theater directly on campus. However, different organizations will sometimes hold movie nights where students are able to view movies for a discounted price. There are also movie nights on the quad when the weather is nice.
