Local Atmosphere at University of Rhode Island

A-

URI

My school is in a safe location. A short 25 minute to the beach where many students rent houses. Great on and off campus communities. Nice local restaurants that students socialize at.

The University of Rhode Island allows for a great variety of majors and classes. My program is Wildlife and Conservation Biology which offers many interesting classes. For example they offer Ornithology, Mammalogy, Entomology, Field Botany, and many, many more. The Professors are very well known and respected in their field.

Wildlife Biology

Wildlife and Conservation Biology is a great program at my University. The professors are extremely involved in their respective topics and thus are very knowledgeable. They discuss current and upcoming topics. I love my program because it has a lot of hands on and in the field courses.

Facilities at University of Rhode Island

General Campus Aesthetics

The campus has three distinct architecture styles. There is the old stone faced section, the 70's style additions, and the new brick buildings. The campus has recently been updating and remodeling older buildings to keep their architectural beauty. The newer buildings however don't match these buildings and leave something to be desired. I wish that the campus had a more cohesive look and carried the beautiful architecture throughout so that it looked like a quaint old college.

Parking at University of Rhode Island

A

Parking Spaces

I think that parking on my campus is fine. Other students complain about the distance from class and buildings but that is because our culture is accustomed to pulling right up to a building and going in. They have become lazy and unrealistic about walking. I personally enjoy walking around and there is beauty to find when one does so. So overall parking is fine and there is plenty of spaces and there are even buses that run all day for those who do not enjoy walking.

Have Not Had an Internship

There are many opportunities for an internship at my school. The above information varies depending on which field your internship is in. I have only done volunteer positions through my school working with a grad student in Wildlife and Conservation Biology. It involved going out into the field and taking surveys of the vegetation type suitable for New England Cottontails. It was a great learning experience and will help with my future career.
