No ode Island!
in R h
While Rhode Island may be the sma
llest state,
you’ll notice we have some of the
biggest
opportunities. From beaches and
polo matches
to skiing and orchards, there’s alw
ays something
going on in Rhody. With 15 colleg
es, universities
and technical schools within 30
miles of
Providence, the city is a cultural
hub for the
state as well as a great place to
catch a live
show, have a philosophical conver
sation or take
in some of the hip, eclectic shoppi
ng areas.
