University of Rhode Island

It's a bit difficult to remember but I think we had a career advising office and our academic advisors were helpful too.

? I graduated 33 years ago and never looked back.... I have no idea what they do now that is useful.

I graduated 18 yrs ago. No idea

Networking events (job fairs) Student Alumni Association Honors program Travel abroad opportunity Academic alternative spring break Experiential curriculum Academic enhancement center

Career and Experiential Learning department Mentoring Programs Internships Job Fairs Alumni Association benefits

Clinicals in hospitals and summer in Spain program.

There are job fairs and careers services advisors like everywhere, but the professors in my particular major were the key in preparing me for the multiple professional jobs I've had since graduating. They stressed that we developed outstanding writing, researching abilities and critical reading and evaluation skills, which are applicable to a wide variety of fields. As a result, now only 9 years from undergrad, my wife and I have a 6 figure household income with undergraduate degrees only in history. The professors and courses themselves were the best preparation for the world hands down. Career services was useless and I never attended a job fair. The professors themselves have acted as our references for years because we also forged lifelong friendships with several of them.

great question, idk... but the skills I learned in class and labs helped

Hard to say as I've not been there in years

large State university, strong athletics and Greek systems

I clicked I graduated.... 33 years ago.. when I went, the place was called U R High... and we were not in Denver...

Somewhat diverse student body, Known as a party school within the greek life

Diverse, flexible, open to possibilities.

no idea what it's like now

The students seemingly are like students everywhere. A large segment of them like to party and do their work last minute/barely. A smaller subset are studious and work hard. No surprise the party students in my major never went anywhere but the ones who attempted to get something out of their degree, even though it was "only history" have nice careers now.

Large university... a lot of mixed students

They spend too much money on stuff not enough on students. Nice campus but do more for the people

Home computers did not exist; they had a state of the art computer lab for the time. Dorms were appropriately dreary, cafeterias should have been shut down. All is much better now!

we didn't have computers - we had A single IBM 360 mainframe and punch cards. The place to leave your punch card stacks was the basement of the engineering building. The dorms were Spartan and resembled a prison. The cafeteria was nothing I remember.

Mixture of old and new facilities

Just to be clear, this was when I attended school back in 1995 to 1999. My experience was wonderful. I have nothing negative to say about classes, labs, dorms, dining halls, etc.

New, up to date, historical buildings.

The ones I used were nice

Over the last decade the college has undergone incredible upgrades, renovations to existing buildings, constructions of new ones. There are new dining halls, top notch computer labs, new dorms, new everything. Striking improvements since my first day on campus 12 years ago.

The school is currently upgrading most of its facilities- including relatively near pharmacy, biology, and chemistry buildings. New dining hall was put in this year

seriously? At noon on Fridays, they gathered at the Quad and smoked pot.

Student Alumni Association Greek life Student Entertainment Committee

At the time was the SASA, LASA and greek life.

The gym and ice rink and the restaurant spots

No longer a student, so I don't really know.

Coastal school... lots of sailing, diving, and surfing!!!
