U of R is a school with a lot of opportunities. The classes are demanding and the people can be really hard to adjust to if you didn't grow up in a northeastern upperclass town, but if you're willing to put in the effort it can really pay off here.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
If you're a science student, be prepared to spent most of your life studying and working in Gottwald. The first year typically isn't bad but by the third year you will be used to sleeping on the couches inside Gottwald (the science building) as much as in your own bed.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Most of the dorms are pretty nice and a few are even hotel-level nice.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is getting better every semester and the dining hall staff is very receptive to suggestions. For example, I asked for nutritional yeast to be made available at the spice rack and the next week it was there!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The financial aid packages are pretty good here and, if you can keep your grades up, there a a decent amount of scholarships you can apply for on top of that.
