How about
URI 
Well, daily life at URI is pretty much like any other college.
College however is very different then high school. Basically college is 10 times harder, and 10 times faster then high school.
Often in the beginning you will probably attend large classes. In your first semester, your classes should be very doable, and ease you into college life. After your first semester, your courses start to become much harder, and faster.
Also research your professors, some are very good, but some are extremely horrible. The really bad professors will often expect you just to know the stuff, and just ramble until you get bored. A bad professor will just make life harder then it already is. A good resource to use is
Rate your Professor. From these ratings you can possibly pick a better schedule for you.
Also, and most importantly in college, you have to be motivated to succeed. No one will provide that motivation for you. Often classes are just based on tests and quizzes from class. Homework is given, but rarely graded, usually professors just call them "suggested problems." Even though they aren't assigned, it is in your best interest to do them. If you have a problems in them, get help fast, usually colleges provide help programs and study groups for their students. Also, study often for every class, every day, relieves the stress from cramming in all the material near test or finals.
From your selection, it seems like you are choosing changeling colleges. All the colleges you mentioned are very good, and you will probably be happy in any one of them.
