There ain't nothing wrong with RIC my friend. It's cheaper, more reliable, less likely to be "student number*****. So the sports program isn't top notch but unless you are there to play sports who cares. You get a fine education there. Is it your high class school no. But I went to Keene myself. If you are there to learn RIC is fine if you are going college to party and rebel then URI. It comes down to what you put in equals what you get out.
