Whether you take a train or a bus, you'll find yourself in Downtown Providence, only a 15-minute walk from the Brown campus and the CS Department. A cab should cost you under $6.

Walking from the Train Station

Walk through the Park Row (south) exit of the train station. Proceed south on Exchange Street, crossing the river. Turn left onto Memorial Boulevard and then left again onto Steeple Street. Follow Steeple Street across the river again, and up College Hill (Steeple Street becomes Thomas Street). Halfway up the hill, turn right on Benefit Street, then immediately left onto Waterman Street. Follow Waterman Street for one and half blocks to Leeds Theatre/Lyman Hall (77 Waterman St.).

(Amtrak and the MBTA Commuter Rail stop at the Providence Station).

Walking from Kennedy Plaza (Bus Stop)

The Providence Bus Terminal (Bonanza Bus) is two miles north of campus, so do not get off there! Get off at the Downtown Providence stop. This will leave you in or near Kennedy Plaza.

Walk east along Washington Street (you will be walking against traffic on a one-way street). Cross the river and go up College Hill. You should find yourself on Waterman Street. Continue for two and half blocks to Leeds Theatre/Lyman Hall (77 Waterman Street).

Catch the Trolley

The RIPTA Trolley will take you from Kennedy Plaza to the CIT for 50 cents (exact change). Take the Green Line (RIPTA bus route "92 East") - the trolley is marked "Fox Point". Check the schedule online. Get off at the first stop after the tunnel. This is the intersection of Thayer Street and Waterman Street. Go back up Waterman St (from the way you came), past the Greenhouse and the Psychology Dept. to Leeds Theatre/Lyman Hall (77 Waterman Street).

Flying to Brown

The T.F. Green airport (code PVD) is approximately 10 miles from downtown Providence, and is served by most national and regional airlines. Cabs to Brown cost about $25 plus tip.

Boston's Logan Airport (BOS) is a good second choice. Boston is about an hour away from Providence, and the transit system between there and here is fairly good; especially recommended is the every-two-hours Bonanza bus service.
