in suburban Smithfield, Rhode Island. The college is located
15 minutes northwest of Providence, 1 hour southwest of
Boston, and 3 hours north of New York City. Many students
consider it the perfect setting: quite enough to study
during the week and close to enough to major cities to
take advantage of internship, cultural, and recreational
opportunities. Public transportation is readily available.

is moderated by the bordering Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures
throughout, the school year generally range from 29°F
