URI Named 3rd Most Beautiful Coastal Campus
A national website, Best Value Schools, says only Pepperdine University in Malibu and the University of San Diego beat out URI for gorgeous campuses that boast proximity to the ocean.
“Reading, writing, studying, and…surfing. For thousands of college students heading off to college this year, a campus close to the beach and water is an absolute must,” says the story.
Each school was evaluated for location, awards and recognition, student enjoyment, notable features such as local beaches and sailing facilities, historical significance and environmental friendliness.
The article notes the stellar view of Narragansett Bay’s West Passage from URI’s Bay Campus in Narragansett, home to the Graduate School of Oceanography, which consistently ranks among the top five oceanographic institutions in the country.
