Living In Rhode Island
The University of Rhode Island is located in Kingston, RI, a small residential village in an area commonly referred to as "South County" and is close to the ocean and major beaches. Our 1,200-acre campus is a mix of ivy-covered buildings and contemporary architecture. Just 30 miles south of Providence, URI is within easy reach of Newport, Boston, and New York City.
A majority of faculty, staff and students choose to live in the local communites of South Kingstown, Narragansett, North Kingstown, or Charlestown. However, it is not entirely uncommon for members of the department to live in Newport or Providence and surrounding areas. The following list of links provide general information about living and working in Rhode Island.
