Just a point about affordability: if you’re any kind of decent student, URI gives you a $5,000 scholarship (though maybe it’s higher now). I graduated in 2019 and only paid like $4,000 a semester for tuition.

If you’re going to be living in Westerly, it’ll be much easier to commute to URI. Most URI students move off campus and a lot of people consider it a commuter school.

I saw this on Facebook (I admin a hobby group and we haven't found a better platform) and people were having a field day with this story. The thing is... I know people are focusing on the principal but holy shit I hope the kid is okay. The fact that his life is potentially in danger over $2000 is beyond ridiculous.

I used to be the biggest android fan boy when I was younger but every single fucking android smartphone I have ever owned would start shitting the bed shortly after the first big software update and then I would just have to suffer until I was due for my next upgrade.

I had an iPhone 6s up until six months ago and then it died when I dropped it in a fountain. I upgraded to an iPhone 8 and the thing works flawlessly. Maybe android flagships are better now but I’m not going to throw away $1000 on a Galaxy Ultra whose battery may or may not explode after a year when I can get an iPhone that’ll last me 5+ years.
