Get to Know Providence Providence's nickname is "The Creative Capital" and the moniker is well deserved fun and artsy, Providence feels more like a welcoming big small town than a cutthroat and competitive city. Nevertheless, Providence is not only Rhode Island's capital, but it's New England's third biggest metropolis, only sitting behind Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts. Most of the smaller towns in the Ocean State serve as satellites to Providence, with residents heading to the city regularly for a night out or to partake in the many cultural opportunities available. Eight colleges and universities make their home in Providence, including Brown, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Johnson & Wales University, which might account for the city's excellent coffee options, a rocking underground music scene, and enough acclaimed restaurants to inspire envy in a city twice its size. It's also a port city, thus boasting some of the best seafood around. Please Fill Out Application Occupancy two persons max Credit 695+ Monthly Income equal to 3x the monthly rent.
