Schools Like Roger Williams University

College Search & Selection

<p>I hope this is the right place to post this. I recently visited Roger Williams University in RI. I really liked this school a lot, but of course need to find other schools to apply to also. Does anyone have any suggestions for schools that might be similiar. I liked the way that the school was a close community and not really spread out. </p>

<p>I am also wondering if there are other schools down the east coast that might be on the water. I did visit Salve Regina already.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Biokid, some other schools that are on the water are Endicott (MA), Franklin Pierce (NH), St. Marys of Maryland, University of Maine (Orono) and CT. College.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help... Should I post this somewhere else to get more answers?</p>

<p>Biokid, I would post this also in the Parents Forum. They are very helpful. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Posting on the parent board is a great idea. If you are willing to go southeast you might look into Eckerd College, or some NC schools. I know that UNC-W is a few minutes from the beach. There are other schools in NC that are near the beach, but I don't know which one. </p>

<p>In Vermont, Champlain College overlooks Lake Champlain. If memory serves me correctly, they have some kind of sailing club/team.</p>

<p>I think that Marist College is along the Hudson River.</p>

<p>I think that there is beach near the University of Rhode Island campus (think that they have a strong marine biology program).</p>

<p>Check out the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine.</p>

thanks so much!</p>

<p>Salve Regina has an incredible campus in an unbelievable location. It is a good sized campus and most of the juniors and seniors live off campus. We weren't able to see classes/dorms so I don't have an opinion either way at this point. Newport is just a great place to be so I intend to go to an Open House so that I can get more detailed info.</p>

<p>okay, great, thank you so much for the info. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>College of Charleston in South Carolina is close to the coast, and has a marine research lab right on the water. So does Northeastern U in Boston. The marine research lab is in Nahant I believe.</p>
