Best college towns in America: South Kingstown, Rhode Island (Home of University of Rhode Island)

The coolest thing to do near the University of Rhode Island only works at the very beginning of the football season. It’s the beach. There are gorgeous beaches in Rhode Island that are only a short drive away from here. However, if you’re coming to South Kingston later in the season, it’s time to find things in the smallest American state that comes with bundling up.

Greek Life is very popular at the University of Rhode Island, and they are always holding events across campus. Look up which events might work best.

The campus at the University of Rhode Island is lovely. They have ivy-covered buildings along the 1,200-acre campus. The contemporary architecture makes a statement when looking at the campus as a whole. The core of the campus is on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Finally, this sport called oozeball is extremely popular at the University of Rhode Island. It’s basically taking a volleyball net and putting it in eight inches of mud. Maybe this doesn’t happen too often during the winter, but there is definitely lots of practice for the spring tournament. This sounds like the greatest spectator sport, even better than football.
