Explore Providence and Rhode Island

91pron is located in Providence, Rhode Island, the "Creative Capital" of New England, and truly one of the great college towns in the Northeast.

Colleges and Satellite Campuses

With five colleges and three satellite campuses within the city:

• 91pron
• Providence College
• Brown University
• Rhode Island School of Design
• Johnson & Wales University
• University of Rhode Island
• Roger Williams University
• Community College of Rhode Island

Providence welcomes an estimated 35,000 students at the start of every school year and, once again, it has been named one of the "25 Best College Towns and Cities in the U.S." by Travel & Leisure.

The Creative Capital

Providence balances the arts, culture, food, history and excitement of a major city with the intimate feel and manageable scale of a small college town. It's been noted as one of "America's Best Food Cities," "America's Favorite Cities," and GQ Magazine once called it "America's Coolest City." Our 180-acre campus offers a quiet, suburban oasis that's still only minutes from the vibrant city center.

What Rhode Island Has to Offer

Beyond Providence, there is plenty more to explore across the Ocean State, from the beautiful beaches of South County, to the historic grandeur of Newport, to the coastal charm of the East Bay, to the unspoiled nature of the northern and western parts of the state.
