Roger Williams University

A very clean college! They always have a green lawn, even if there was a drought they would be green! The campus has a lot of really good programs. Their Marine bio program is amazing; they really can learn a lot in it. The wet labs is a really cool place to go to; the boy that volunteers in it is really cute and worth meeting.
The location is perfect. It is right next to the Mount Hope Bridge; right on the ocean. On a good night you can go down to the beach and do your homework! What a view to have while doing homework.
The food the college has is good as well. They always have a variety of options, and they ALWAYS HAVE SALAD! Every time I have gone here they have not always had chicken, which is my favorite thing to put on salad. They try to get as much fresh and local foods that they can and work around that. The school put up a waste log to show the students how much food they waste everyday; I think it’s weird, but it shows the students how much food they are wasting.
The dorms are always clean. I hate going into my friends dorms and being disgusted at how gross they are, but that is never the case here. Everything is always clean outside of the rooms; inside the rooms might be a different story!
This is a really nice college, I recommend to take a tour!

beautiful campus. good professors. A really good school overall

I was only here for a lecture and the recreation center was packed solid. I don’t think they prepared fully for the event as the crowd level was spilling over forcing people to stand or sit on the floor.

I actually spent my first semester of college here back when it was Roger Williams College. In terms of my family budget at the time, it was just too expensive for me, so I later settled on a state university in NH. My older brother and sister attended Syracuse University and Boston University, respectively, so my parents were simply loaned out and couldn’t manage the financial stigma of putting a third child through expensive higher education.
I do have some fond memories of my short stint here. I particularly enjoyed the scenery along Mount Hope Bay (and Mount Hope Bridge), especially from my dorm room. The coastal communities surrounding the university were awesome… so tranquil and serene. I remember my last night (first semester’s end) at the university prior to the holiday break. A bunch of us partied at the nearby light house. At the time I didn’t know that I wasn’t going to return, so I never had an opportunity to say goodbye to some of the friends I had made there.
Over the years, the university’s reputation as a comprehensive university has increased remarkably, and my only regret is that I didn’t have the opportunity to graduate from there. I ended up taking the spring semester off, later enrolling at the University of New Hampshire. While attending UNH, I lived in Portsmouth for awhile, where I was once again able to enjoy the experience of living on the coast, which I absolutely love.
