My URI
Name: Jackie
Major: Textile, Fashion Merchandising and Design, and French
Graduation Year: 2011
Hometown, State: Arlington, Massachusetts
Two words of advice: Get Involved!
My personal motto is: Do what makes you happy. =)
URI is unique because: of the students who attend the university! We have a unique bunch of the greatest kids anywhere. Without these students, my URI experience would not be the same.
My goal: I hope to find a great job in New York City after college, and be with all the people who matter most in my life!
My favorite food on campus: Ram's Den!!
My best URI moment (so far): My best, well really my funniest, moment at URIso far would be dressing up as McDonald's French Fries with four of my friends (including two other tour guides - Seth Steinman and Kevin Colman). We wore styrofoam boards spray painted yellow and stood inside a gigantic red box. The five of us waddled around in the box together for the entire night, even making a guest appearance at the local McDonald's!!!!
My biggest surprise at URI: I was surprised that I had such great freshmen year roommates. We were attached at the hip for the entire year, and we
still live together now.
My favorite place on campus (and why): Butterfield Hall is by far my favorite place on campus. I lived in Butterfield as a freshman and made the best friends in the world, all of whom I am still very close with now. A year later we continue to have weekly family dinners in the Butterfield Dining Hall. On the weekends I: I love to hang out with all my friends doing anything from hanging around to eating together to going to sporting events and sitting on the rock wall at Narragansett Beach.
On the weekends I: hang out with my friends and go shopping!
My favorite class (and why): My favorite classes at URI are my French classes. I have had some of the greatest and most enthusiastic teachers possible.
I selected URI because: My URI Tour Guide sold URI to me. I had the most entertaining tour imaginable. Not to mention, I thought the campus was extremely picturesque - the quad and all of the surrounding stone buildings.
I am involved in: I am the President of the Sigma Kappa Sorority. I am a URI 101 Mentor, member of the academic honor society Phi Eta Sigma, member in a start-up company and attended the Leadership Institute.
