Good reviews

I personally love CCRI. As an older student coming back into college, I have found that this school has been very accommodating and welcoming for all ranges of people. The faculty I have dealt with have always gone above and beyond to make sure that students succeed!

Love This Campus
Overall 4.4
The school itself is great but beware of Financial Aid/advisor. The Financial Aid rips you off and you get fees for parking and using the computer lab even if you do work from home and don’t drive.

A very comfortable place to go to School. I enjoy CCRI but only the Warwick campus. Ive been here since 2014 and enjoy it. Will kind of miss it once I go to RIC.

There is a lot of opportunity within the IT field, as long as the student start with the right skills and attitude. ColdFusion, PHP, MySQL, Oracle, PL-SQL, JQuery, Json are several tools that I mastered during my time at CCRI. Great School.
Overall 4.1
I enjoy CCRI. It gets a bad reputation because it's a CC, but it's a great place. Nice professors, fun events, easy to navigate.

Not a good college. Never answer emails, calls and couldn't care about the student.

None.

They do not offer enough classes to accomadate the students; especially night classes. They need more tutors. It is very difficult to get problems resolved in a timely matter.
Overall 1.5
Thought it was a dump when I first rolled up. Lights are dim and dark. Parking lot sucks. Security sucks. No one is friendly. Websites is disorganized
Overall 1.9
I went to this school as a running start student and part of me really wishes I had just stayed in high school. Some of the faculty made you feel bad for being younger and still in high school while also making fun of you for not knowing how to navigate college. All of my classes were distance so it was hard to connect with anyone and I felt alone
Overall 1.9
There are no drills for anything, it smells terrible, everyone clumps into one elevator or you die walking up six flights of stairs, people are nasty, professors are nasty, you are terrified you are going to get shot or in the event of any indecent you have no idea what to do, they scam you, advisers are terrible.
Overall 2
the campus very unappealing but it is clean for the most part. the food is very unhealthy and expensive. there are barely any choices.
