Bristol

Bristol is a CAA site, located at Rodger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

Student Lifestyle

While considered to be one of the stricter sites in the program, it is still enjoyable for the students. RAs patrol around the buildings after lights out - the rules are enforced strictly at this site. Closing the blinds and plugging in the door with a towel allowed one room in 08.2 in Stonewall II to keep desk lamps on, however. The cafeteria's food quality if good, although the variety is low. The mac and cheese is to be avoided. Bristol is an athletic site and sports are an important part of activities and general site fun.

Traditions

• During Session 1, Students go to the July 4th parade and Carnival in Bristol because Bristol held the first July 4th Celebration in the United States. This tradition, for no apparent reason, was not upheld in 2008.
• The Game, as at most sites, is prevalent at Bristol.
