Perhaps one of the biggest perks to going to Providence College is the accessibility to the city itself. Providence has a great deal to offer, whether it be the huge variety of different clubs and restaurants, the easy access to music life within the city, or just quite simply the proximity to one of the biggest malls in New England.

Since I've been here, I've been to the mall at least 4 times and the process never gets dull. With the buses that drive pretty much all around the city being free to students, there's no excuse not to go out into the city and experience what it has to offer. And let me assure you, I've grown up perhaps 40 minutes away from this mall and it's still plenty of fun to wander around.

This last Saturday I went with a few friends to Uno's (yet another perk to living in the city, the endless amounts of various places you can go out to eat). We celebrated someone's birthday a month late (mostly because we wanted the cookie cake, which was as fabulous as it looks) and even though Uno's isn't a particularly amazing place to eat, it was still scrumptious nevertheless.

Did I mention that cake was really, really delicious?

Anyway, it's essentially impossible to run out of things to do here. And even if for some crazy reason you find Providence boring, there's always Boston just a train ride away.
