Thayer street has a lot of shops and small places to eat. The store owners are really friendly--the owner of the Indian goods store always gives you free rings and bracelets just for coming in. |

Providence is right there! It's a quaint and cute city/town. And Thayer Street lacks very little (in terms of what a college student needs anyway!) The upkeep needs a little work (think cracked sidewalk, random contents of Dumpster out and about) |

I love Providence and the areas surrouding the campus. The area is not so intense and crowded that it makes you feel like you've stepped into a completely different environment, but it definitely gives you the feeling that you have undoubtly stepped |
