We're located in Rhode Island’s vibrant capital—known for its innovative arts scene, exceptional culinary offerings, and unpretentious vibe. Known as "The Ocean State," Rhode Island boasts New England charm, history and affordability, yet is still close to the amenities and offerings of nearby Boston and New York City.
Brown benefits from being a big player in a small state, with access to government officials and to unique integrated datasets for many fields of research.
Highly accessible, statewide bus fare is free with your Brown ID, and the School is a 15-minute walk to Providence Station and 15-minute drive to the airport (PVD).
