Providence is a lovely city to hang out in. It's one of those places that are hip enough that no one cares about being hip. If that makes any sense.
Plus, the whole state is small enough that nothing is too far away, even Block Island (which you have to take a ferry to get to) is easily reached within an hour. Also? Awesome beaches with real sand (unlike the rest of the beaches which have rocks liek woah).
Also, you're fairly close to Boston (about an hour-and-a-half away) if you ever feel like day-tripping. New York City is also fairly close (and just a matter of a short train ride via Amtrack).
Really, I can't say enough good about it. The only problem is Rhode Island is somewhat job-poor if you don't work in academia or health-care.
Oh, and one other thing...the entire state is owned by the mob. No joke. It's where the mobsters go when they retire. Plus, the natives are the most cheerful little Ferrengis you've ever met.
Seriously, though. Rhode Island as a whole is a piece of awesome.
