<p>S and I visited yesterday...pouring rain but S really liked the campus. He expressed that it was bigger than he imagined (a good thing since his high school is very big and he wants a big school). Freshman rooms are mostly triples unless in a suite (not much room by S didn't seem to care, he was just happy the the floors are co-ed:). Food looked okay. Hopefully academic advising would be good. Couldn't really appreciate the location (near the beach) due to the weather. S loved the ice rink. Met a parent at the hotel who is taking his S out of URI next year due to hockey program not being good. If this winds up being my S's school. I think his hope is that he might have a chance with the team if it's in a rebuilding phase (I appreciate the input from previous posters...any other insights appreciated).
All in all, looks like a good school where my S could see himself. Thanks. Just found out he got into UNH so his head is spinning...</p>
