Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Yes, I would recommend my peers to attend this school. They have a great structure and help you pursue a career once you have earned your degree. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | |
| Program Quality | 7 | School provided me with some useful information. Learned how long recovery times are for injuries. |
| Instruction | 9 | Well, I learned a lot from school. I only had a basic knowledge of injuries, how long they will take to heal, and if you will ever get back to 100 percent. |
| How Difficult | 7 | I was challenged with a few subjects. Biology was the hardest course for me. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | This was one downfall about attending RIC - almost everything was book oriented. Often we would not do any hands on learning. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Very flexible - I took 2 Summer classes. I'm not sure if they have online classes, though. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | RIC has very group support. I believe they have 8 computer labs. There is a very big library as well. |
| Social Life | 3 | RIC is not very big into athletics, though there a lot of division 3 sports. I was not interested in school spirit or parties really. |
| Placement Services | 10 | They helped me find a career out of school in Providence. |
| Alumni Network | 10 | Networks are great because I leverage them for jobs and opportunities. Also, they are very supportive. |
