Struggles Of Every URI Student

Why does Chaffee feel like the inside of an easy bake oven?

Struggles Of Every URI Student

The University of Rhode Island has a diverse group of students who experience the same struggles on a daily basis. We all know that this school is definitely something else.

1. Butterfield is closed on the weekends

This is basically the school's way of saying: "You're going to starve or walk all the way to Mainfaire." Who is going to want to walk all the way to Mainfare when it snows? Not this hungry gal.

2. The walk to Chaffee

It can be the most beautiful weather and this walk is still dreadful. It is also a million degrees when you walk into this building and you will automatically sweat right when you sit in your seat.

3. Finding an Uber

If you haven't paid a ridiculous amount of money for an uber, do you really go here?

4. Having 3 people living in a 2 person dorm

None of these dorms were designed for three people, yet here we are. The closet space could be a little bigger, we can all agree on that.

5. The laundry machines

You will have to dry your clothes three times for fully dried clothes

6. The toilet paper

This is self-explanatory.

7. The Rhode Island terms

Anyone not from Rhode Island or Massachusetts hears "wicked" everywhere you go. Also, a water fountain is not a "bubbler". Rhode Island says some silly stuff.


We all love to hate URI. However, it is home and I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
