This is a good school

Small campus but great staff and teachers. I lost a book and called the campus police from home. They looked for my book, found it and got it back to me. That doesn't' happen everywhere. Overall it's a great place just that Newport Bridge traffic at times sets you back. Give yourself time driving there.

I had a wonderful time completing my general education and transferring over to RIC. CCRI is a GREAT deal if you just want to transfer. I made great friends, and I feel bad for those who feel it is not very social. I find it to be more social than RIC. Gen eds that are not bus/med classes can be dry, and feel like highschool 2.0, so do gen eds & go

I had a great experience taking classes at CCRI. I took almost all of my classes at the Newport campus. Most of the teachers were extremely nice and available after class for extra help. Take advantage of the Success Center in the library- it's so helpful!
