Is URI a safe school??
We have a very safe and close community. As part of our Safety and Security system, we have our own Campus Police, Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services. In addition, we also have an extensive system of “Blue” towers stationed all over campus. Each station is equipped with a phone, which calls any number on-campus, a red button connected directly to the campus police, and a bright blue light on top. URI also has an Emergency Notification System, which is capable of notifying the entire campus community—students, faculty, staff, and families—by phone, email, or text. All of these services ensure that students have the opportunity to study and live in a safe and close campus community.

From going to the Providence Place Mall to do some shopping or catching a movie, to attending a RAM Tour to a Red Sox or Bruins game, students at URI balance their learning experience with some fun in a variety of different ways.
