Get to Know Providence
Brown University and Hasbro Children’s Hospital are located in Providence, the capital of the state of Rhode Island. Although the smallest state in the US, Rhode Island has 400 miles of coastline and is often referred to as the Ocean State. Rhode Island is situated in the heart of New England allowing easy access to neighboring states. As such, people come from all over to visit the state. Providence is a “minority majority” city because of its diverse population. The state also serves as an active refugee resettlement site bringing in people from all over the world. As a result, the state celebrates a rich cultural history with festivals and a variety of restaurants to choose from. Combined with all the outdoor activities you could imagine, Rhode Island is a fun place to be!

Downtown ("Downcity") sits at the confluence of Moshassuck and Woonasquatucket Rivers. This area of the city is home to the financial district with mid-rise buildings creating an inner-city vibe. There is also a strong retail influence, most notably along historic Westminster Street which is where you'll find the newly renovated Arcade, the country's oldest indoor mall.
College Hill is located on Providence's East Side and is the first permanent colonial settlement in Rhode Island. This steep hill on the east bank of the Providence River plays host to Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. It is a neighborhood where historical architecture and modern buildings seamlessly coexist, while Thayer Street provides a young, energetic vibe to make this a truly dynamic part of the city
West End is an area filled with historic homes that is currently being flooded with young cooks, urban gardeners, and talented artists. Broadway Street is becoming restored as the revival of this once thriving neighborhood. It is yet another example of the exciting growth taking place within the city
Federal Hill ("The Hill") is Rhode Island's very own Little Italy. While it was initially home of the working class and first wave of immigration in Providence (the Irish), it eventually became the center of one of the most densely populated and largest Italian settlements in the nation. Additionally, the Annual Columbus Day Parade is a fun event for all to enjoy in this community each year. The neighborhood is full of Italian restaurants that would rival even some of the best in Italy!
There are several other neighborhoods where residents live and have their own unique flare. Wayland Square is a popular neighborhood consisting of a commercial area with thriving retail stores, in addition to trails and bike paths in Blackstone Park. Fox Point is home to the trendy Wickenden Street, a large Portuguese population, and the pleasant views from the waterfront of India Point Park.
