Why UCONN? Very expensive out of state.

Best value for sure, but best bang for your buck is Bryant University. Studies have demonstrated it to provide the best ROI in the state and one of the best in the country.

At the end of the day the most important thing is that you finish your degree. If money is a major concern, no perceived benefit you get from URI is going to justify the difference in tuition.

I've known plenty of successful people that attended RIC. I went to URI for a degree in Philosophy and have been plenty successful as well. Your success is going to come down to what YOU do with your degree; not the school you get it from.

Proud RIC alum right here 😎 in state tuition is cheap and a good education. Everyone I work with is in a lot of debt from school going to huge universities. I have none

As someone who went to an “elite” private college, realized it cost $60k a year and I would be a quarter of a million dollars in debt when I graduated, and promptly decided to transfer to RIC… there is nothing wrong with RIC. It has small classes, the professors care a lot and if you put in effort you will get a lot of individualized attention. Professors everywhere have PhDs. I loved it there, and would highly recommend it to anyone. Doesn’t have the same college dorm feel, but if you’re living off campus anyway that doesn’t matter.

RIC has an excellent art department. Recently remodeled studios, and some of their faculty are also adjuncts at Rhode Island School of Design, which is frequently ranked top 5 worldwide. A fair number of RISD models work there, too. If you're looking to take some art electives, great choice.

A friend and my SO both went to RIC about 20 years ago, one for early childhood education and the other for math. They both agree they had a good experience overall.

I’ve gone to Paiva’s auto detailing in Warwick to get some paint correction done and my car came back looking better than new.

I just don’t know if they offer a service like the one I said. You’ll have to check their website.

While not recommending a single place....lol

I want a place someone has gone to and swears by.

Their hoot sounds like “Who cooks for you”?

That is literally what I just described to you…

It’s a barred owl. I have one in my backyard. We get into staring contests on the weekends.

Yea I guess I want something that's quick and less costly than a full on detail

A lot of detailing places offer hand wash services that won’t scratch the paint or leave swirls. Check around.

Really?! What is the ROI of the degrees offered? Confused as to what you mean by “best bang for your buck.” Also which degree programs you are talking about.

I got a great education at RIC. If you don’t have a lot of money, you should absolutely go there instead of one of the bigger schools.

Yeah I’m not too far from Quonset. Heard the booms then 5ish min later heard one of those big planes taking off. Not sure what’s going on, but hopefully there will be some clarification in the morning.

n she gotsa 2 juicy fruits that fell from tha tree and sprouted(out of the same coconut, have you, er he'll have u know) haha but th=eres your special delivery Ashley, 2 days before valentines day, nobody ever said i wuz perfect, im not perfect

URI has a pretty high acceptance rate so I doubt it’s that they can’t get in right away, and if they really wanted get their gen-eds done with less debt they’d go to CCRI for free for the first two years like I did.

No logic in either of those points at all whatsoever.

Exactly. RIC is wicked inexpensive and you get a decent education and don't get lost in the shuffle of URI. There's a positive of going to a small school.

Depends on what your major is and what you want to do. I graduated there in 2012. I had a ok experience. When I was there most of the people who go there major in Nursing or Education. From personal experience, if you are trying to get a job in the entertainment industry it’s a terrible school to go to lol

Ill be your mirror

Yea I’m still skeptical. I google that sound and its very different.

Oh (and sorry to keep replying) but if you haven't started yet, already know exactly what you want to do at either school, then I'd suggest looking into the Joint Admissions Agreement through CCRI.

I was able to get all of my Gen Eds done in small class sizes so i didn't have to worry about 100+ student lecture halls, got through strictly on grants, the system ensures your making adequate progress, you're guaranteed admission into your program after getting your Associates, and there is a GPA based tuition waiver. Our I should say, this is how it was back in 2013 when I finished at Rte 2 U
