Teachers are very willing to answer questions you may have about their school, and we encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity.
In an effort to provide the Melrose High School students and their families with relevant and up-to-date college information, the MHS Guidance Blog will be showcasing colleges and universities from the local area and nationally. The colleges profiled do not represent a preference on the part of the MHS Guidance Department toward any particular school.

THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND
The University of Rhode Island is the state's flagship institution of higher education, and its only public university. As such, we are uniquely positioned, ready and able to provide innovative ideas, adaptive intelligence and breakthrough research to enhance the lives of the people in our state, nation, and world.
At URI you'll discover a small, beautiful, student-centered learning environment with the resources, research capabilities, and opportunities of a much larger public institution. In other words, we may be a smaller university, but our thinking is big. At URI, you'll find some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs, innovators, and discoverers on our faculty, in our research enterprise, and in our student body. And we are growing a community that embraces equity, diversity, and unity, in which students graduate with the capability to work across cultures, languages, lifestyles and traditions, because they have themselves been valued for both their individuality and the cultures they bring with them.
