    The food isn't great and you'll want to eat at the restaurants in the Emporium. It can get expensive, but the dining hall food is quite bland most times. It's easy to find food for vegetarians, but it's quite difficult to be a healthy vegan here, unfortunately.

    I say three stars because the dining halls have weird hours and aren't open late which sucks because if someone has a late class they may not be able to eat dinner as part of their meal plan. Then making it so you would have to wait till the AM to eat but go buy something instead.

    The dining halls at URI are very cafeteria-like, however, there is a large array of options in regard to the food (in the dining halls), which makes the whole experience better. Furthermore, if you're not interested in the dining halls, there are many eateries and markets available within walking distance for students to eat at.

    The food and dining is definitely one of the best places to dine in any university on the east coast. The new cafeteria is fantastic. It is all you can eat and they always have diverse and healthy options for students to choose from.

    The food on campus is generally pretty good. The dining halls have a lot of options but the food gets old pretty quickly. Luckily the University has a place called the emporium located on campus. The emporium offers restaurants, cafes, a hookah bar, and convenience stores.

    The food at URI is pretty good for campus food. At Hope, you have the option for an entree meal, sandwiches, a salad bar, and even a pasta bar where you pick what you want in your bowl and it is sauteed and prepared in front of you. If you get tired of the dorm food, on top of campus there is the Emporium where there are pizza places, sandwich shops, burger joints and Chinese restaurants.

    There are two main dining halls on campus and they always have a variety of foods. There are also other little shops on campus if one is not interested in the food offered. There are small restaurants on the top of campus which many students visit at well.

    Greek Life is very prominent at URI. I am not in greek life, but my friends are. I have a great social life not being involved in greek life, just as my friends have a great social life being involved in greek life. From what I've experienced, greek life at URI is fun and a great way to meet people and make connections.

    I joined my sorority as a sophomore this year. I think it was a great decision because I am so much more involved on campus now and I have made great friends in the process!

    Greek Life is a huge organization at URI. There are over 20 different sororities and fraternities on campus. Greek Life hosts many fundraising events and participates in many activities on campus to entertain the student body and raise money. All of the chapters on campus are national so they are very well known. There is a sorority or fraternity on campus for any type of student- everyone finds a group in Greek Life that they fit in with. Greek Life is huge at URI.

    There are so many fraternities and sororities on campus and they recruit in the fall and in the spring so if you didn't get in the first time, there's a second chance.
