There are many clubs in RISD about many things such as sports, art, inclusivity, cultural clubs, etc. RISD students can also join almost all of the brown clubs which allows interactions with people outside school.

RISD has an open campus. My sophomore room is sharing but you can get a single or a triple as well on campus. It is around $8000 just for the accommodation and with the meal plan it comes to around $14000.

Yes I live on campus. The newer buildings are amazing but the older ones are alright. They're all going under construction soon. North hall for freshmen is recommended.

Reputation, faculty, rankings, location, exposure to people and job opportunities through networking
