The worst parts about RIC: No one graduates in four years. Do you need to take two classes that are sequential? Guess what- they’re not offering the first one at all this academic year but they are offering the second one but you can’t take it yet. This happens ALL. THE. TIME. The likelihood of completing one major in 4 years is tough let alone 3. Unless things have changed since I was there about 10 yrs ago.

You will be in classes with students who don’t try, don’t care, and are frankly not very intelligent (students getting a business degree). And a lot of the teachers I had just accepted it. So you have to keep yourself motivated and/or find the limited number of other students who are. There are leadership programs at RIC and through LRI- join those if you can.

I've known a lot of RIC grads, and only one of them managed to graduate in four years. And that was like, twenty years ago.

i could have graduated in 4 years. i took a year off of my own accord and made it 5 but that was totally on me. you did have to pay attention to what classes were offered and when and plan ahead.

i did not find that my classmates were stupid or did not care, quite the contrary actually, and i don't know how it could be any worse than "party school" URI.
