Where are you from and why did you decide to come to URI?<\/strong><\/p>\n I am from Portsmouth, RI. Originally I decided to come to URI since it was close to home, which is something I wanted while COVID was happening. <\/p>\n As a freshman, what’s something you wish you knew about life at URI that you know now? (aka — some words of advice to our new arrivals!)<\/strong><\/p>\n Do not wait until the last minute to do work- in the long run it makes you way more stressed than you have to be! <\/p>\n What’s something you love about the Honors Program? Tell us about a favorite memory.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of my favorite memories was taking Honors classes during COVID- I took three in my first year and I loved how everyone participated and worked together to make it feel as if we were actually in class and not on Zoom.<\/p>\n What are activities and\/or clubs that you enjoy being involved with at URI? How do you spend your free-time?<\/strong><\/p>\n I am in the Anime Club at URI and am also Vice Captain of the URI Quidditch Team (and yes, we really do play Quidditch!) In my free time I love to curl up with my piles of blankets and a good book.<\/p>\n
