Review of Roger Williams University

from Bristol, RI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The academics that are offered at Roger Williams University are incredible. I will soon be going into my second year at this university and so far I am very impressed. I am pursuing the major of business-law and, this school, as well as my academic advisors have been wonderful. They have outlined my class schedules and have thoroughly explained the course of action that I will take. They are always interested in what I have to say and consider every thought that I have. If there is ever anything that I am unsure of whether it is in classes or within my extracurricular involvement, the professors as well as the entire staff are more than willing to explain it to me as well as any student. They make sure that everyone is on the right track and they go out of their way to ensure the understanding of everything that is presented to students. Through my academics, extracurricular activities, and athletic involvement on campus, I am learning how to manage my time wisely, how to stay healthy, and how to stay organized and keep my studies in order. I have gotten so much out of college so far and I am very happy with the way it has turned out. Being at Roger Williams University has been very rewarding thus far and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Ever since I moved into my first dorm that I had ever been in, I was intimidated, and to be honest, I was scared. My first thought was that I was not going to meet anyone and that it was not going to be a good experience. However, once the first day or two went by, and the orientation process has been completed, I found that I had made many friends and that I had fit in perfectly. Everything that I was worried about was just my fear talking. I loved college, and it was at this time that I knew this was where I belonged. I made sure that I got involved on campus through extracurricular activities as well as through athletics, and this was one of the best things that I could have done. As a result I formed a group of friends that I knew would be long lasting. Roger Williams University is a campus that is always changing for the better. They strive to improve the quality of educations as well as the quality of the students' lives in general. There is so much good that I could say about Roger Williams. It is an unbelievable campus and I cannot wait to start the next semester.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

In my opinion, Roger Williams University fits this description perfectly. The reality is that tuition for all colleges and universities is expensive; however, Roger Williams University makes it worth the while. Though tuition is high, they ensure the best education possible for all students. They are always putting weekly events on for the students and they always try to keep them free to the students. They have saved money to build and renovate new and old building in order to make the students college life that much better. Roger Williams gives students the opportunity to ride the city bus for free and save the students money for transportation. They also keep class sizes to around 20 students so that everyone is guaranteed a close relationship with the teacher. Unlike lecture classes that are held in other colleges, Roger Williams does not lecture. All of the professors teach using a hands on approach. Every student can and will learn the material in their classes. They do not use teacher assistants either. Every class is taught by a part or full time professor. In addition, the athletics and the facilities that are offered to the students are to the highest caliber. Every student is given ample opportunities to succeed and to follow their dreams. There is nothing that this university could want more.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

College is something that I think everyone should have the chance to endure. Everyone will go through their own experience and learn many lessons that will help throughout life. Tips that I could give to prospective students is to not be afraid of college. It is a long journey that will lead to your ultimate destination, and your happiness. It is very important that when you get to college you be yourself, and do not be afraid to meet new people. You have to understand that everyone is going through the same thing as you, but it is simply the way that you handle it that will make it that much easier for you. A very important fact that everyone should consider and act upon, is getting involved. Get involved in some things, or get involved in everything. Trust me, I didn't believe this at first, but if you get involved you be so glad that you did. There are so many rewarding experiences waiting for you, so take them on with a smile on your face and determination in your soul. College is the last step before you are truly on your own, so use your head and follow your heart.
