Simply put, this must be the shittiest schoolNot so brightBusiness - Management and Administration
Simply put, this must be the shittiest school on Earth. Middle school was cooler than my first year at RWU. This is a total party school, don't get me wrong, i love to party, but i also want to get educated so i have a life in the future. I don't want to be one of those people who keep talking about their partying days all their life because nothing good ever happened to them after college. Seriously, i think this school is scamming everyone. Most of the students who go there are rich white idiots, and the RWU knows that- thats why they charge a fucking $40k tuition for the most terrible education you can get. I mean, Harvard charges that much for tuition. And RogerW is like elementary school compared to pretty much any other college. Classes are a joke, the professors are retarded assholes. The dorms look like the public bathrooms at shitty rest stops. Do yourself a favor, don't be mislead by RW bullshit like i was. Even if you're not the best student in the world, trust me, you can do sooo much better than this school. Theres nothing here worth experiencing that wouldnt be 100x better or more anywhere else. Please don't let roger wiliiams rob you of your money, time, and a great college experience. Good Luck.

Question
If you're applying to the engineering or architectureSuper Brilliant
If you're applying to the engineering or architecture school, refrain from reading the reveiws on here and talk to someone that goes to one of those two colleges within the university, rather than reading online. On here, you'll get a lot of jaded people from the business school that think they know everything about post-secondary education. Fact is, they don't. The engineering program here is SUPER intimate, none of my classes were over 35 people, and the higher you go, the smaller it gets.

Question
This school sucks, and thats coming from aNot so brightCommunications
This school sucks, and thats coming from a girls point of view who isn't really into partying or doing drugs all day everyday. There is absolutely nothing to do on campus or around the campus in town. Providence and Newport are nice the first two times you go but after that it gets extremely repetitive and the sports here are just ridiculous. I played High School Lacrosse and played on the team here at RWU and had to quit. The other players were so bad and no one ever came to our games, I felt like I was apart of a town club where no one cared. The classes are ok, nothing to brag about but on a scale of 1-10 I would rate the school a 2 because it's just so bad. I transfered out at the end of my sophomore year and are at a community college and now I have to go an extra year, but thats fine with me I would do anything to not go to that school again!
