Welcome to URI! Check out the events page, there’s always something happening on campus :)

It took me about a year to make some friends myself, but put yourself out there and you’ll find your people

Clubs don’t often advertise themselves, but you can find a community you may feel comfortable in the discord hubs. Gaming club is pretty popular and there’s always a tournament every friday. You just have to do some digging to find gold.

I’m a sophomore here, so if you have any questions, I might not have all the answers but I’m willing to help!

The clubs are the best way. Totally worth it to take the time to dig up some that interest you. Made my time there awesome.

Clubs always advertise. ESP on first night. Highly recommend joining something. Anything that peaks your interest. You’ll have a group of friends.

I second this, i was apart of a club sports team all 4 years and ended up being the President of it my senior year and it was the best decision during my time at URI. Made way more and frankly better friends than the ones I made freshman year from being in the dorms. I’m a couple years out of school now and I’m still very much in touch with many of those friends from the club.
