<p>Omniscient1, I'm sure there are some students who attend URI because they didn't get accepted elsewhere...but the reality is that the URI Pharmacy program is a very highly regarded program...and that is what we are discussing here. AND I happen to know some students who attend URI who wouldn't want to attend UConn. Different schools appeal to different students. Just because it's not the school for you doesn't mean it's not a good school for other students.</p>
