Focus On:

Providence, RI Possibility beckons young and old in Providence, Rhode Island. The Ocean State has everything you need, whether you are coming to live on its shores or visit its many attractions. Providence is also the home of many prestigious schools, including Providence College, Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Johnson and Wales University. With so many top-notch schools, you'll have a great opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the academic life. For a break from studying, you can visit the sandy beaches of South County, view the historic mansions of Newport county, observe the East Bay boat builders, travel back to the industrial revolution in the Blackstone Valley, or take a gondola ride through downtown Providence. You'll also want to check out Providence's East Side neighborhood, which includes the largest contiguous area of National Historic Society-designated buildings in America. Summer is also a great time to be in Providence--Providence has hosted the Gravity Games alternative sports tournament during recent summers, and during the summer months, the downtown rivers are lit up by WaterFire events. No matter what the season or the reason you're in Providence, you'll find plenty to enjoy.
