Coming to URI from another college or university is a major transition. You already know how to be a college student, but URI brings its own unique layout, campus routines, academic resources, and community to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n

Your first semester is more than getting through your classes. Give yourself time to learn the campus, figure out where you fit, build relationships, and discover the resources that make URI feel like your university.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

If you are commuting from home or planning to live off campus, you have critical decisions to make about housing, transit, roommates, and balancing everyday life. Start with Transfer Student Success<\/a><\/strong> for transfer-specific guidance, then use the resources below to make your transition to URI and your day-to-day experience here<\/em> work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Elements Unique to Transfer Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
