Ridiculous
Academic strictness is a joke. They will peg you for anything that makes it SEEM like you're doing something wrong or dishonest, and in case the student is always wrong. Campus strictness is also a joke. It's a dry campus, so if you're being an obvious drunk they will catch you for it and you will be punished. Also, if you're caught with a bottle of alcohol, you will get fined a 50$ fee, and the next time it goes up more, the third it's more money, and then the fourth you're out of school. Along with that you're written up and have to take classes about alcohol awareness. It's bull.

You Need a Car
Most parties are off campus, you need a car. Most jobs available are close by off campus, you need a car. Most parties are off campus and always about 15 minutes away, you need a car. The only bank on campus is the URI bank, you need a car to see a bank teller. Most nightlife attractions are 40 minutes away in Providence, you need a car. Basically, you need a car, which is $240 to park a year. It's outrageous, and the parking here sucks. There are only two huge available lots, but they're far away from everything. And lugging your huge basket of laundry that entire walk also sucks.

URI WILL Rain on Your Parade.
RAIN. RAIN. RAIN. I come from Rhode Island and I have no idea why the URI campus have so much freakin' rain. Bring rain boots and a rain jacket, or you're screwed.
You may also want to bring a canoe, yes, it gets THAT bad sometimes.
