Around Town

There are many performances put on by student groups, as well as socials. Parties are (obviously) fun places to go as well.

If there is one place to find fun, its at Brown! Most of the students are a bit eccentric in their own ways, but in a good way, so there is a lot you can try. Just this semester, I learned to juggle, play tennis and soccer, and tried slack-lining. (Google it!)

Beaches and hiking are just a bus ride away, and there's plenty of food trucks and interesting dining opportunities, such as AS220 (community laser-cut shop, music venue, and sustainable food) or Duck and Bunny (late-night cupcakes and tea).

Whatever you want! There's a lot of freedom.

Explore Thayer street! Explore Providence! You're in a city, there is always something to do. There is also the gymnasium on north campus.

There should be something for everyone. Providence is a small city. The statewide bus system is free for students and can get you to anywhere from the beach to a hike. If you want a bigger city, Boston is less than an hour away. On campus, there are always a multitude of things going on, as long as it isn't Reading Period!

Whatever you want. If you like something, chances are someone else at Brown does too.

Make friends! Hang out on Thayer Street, head downtown or hop on the train to Boston.

We have Thayer Street which is a long street with restaurants, stores, and eateries. And it's a 20 minute walk (or 5 minute bus ride â?? buses are free for Brown students) to the mall (the largest carpeted mall in the nation). We have an ice skating rink on campus (just need to bring your own skates) and a new aquatics center with an urg, swimming pool, and more. You'll never get bored here at Brown.

Other than explore the awesome east-coast culture of the diverse city of Providence, one can find much enjoyment in visiting nearby cities, like Boston or New York.
