Discover Providence, R.I.
Plan some time to explore the sights and attractions in Providence after your campus tour. Walk along the historic district’s charming brick-lined street where you can spend the afternoon browsing the rows of unique shops. Boasting large-scale murals throughout the city and home to impressive art galleries, Providence has earned its nickname of “The Creative Capital” for its dynamic art scene. Renowned restaurants, innovative food trucks, quaint cafés and heavenly bakeries also make this vibrant college town a foodie paradise.
When students are looking for a quick break from city life, there’s plenty to explore outside of Providence. Just a short trip away is Newport’s scenic Cliff Walk, Roger Williams Park Zoo, Block Island, and numerous state beaches that have earned Rhode Island the title of the Ocean State.
