Directions
By Plane
TF Green Airport is located about ten miles south of Providence. The
most economical way of transportation to the campus is by shuttle
(Airport Limousine Co.), which leaves the airport on the hour and
arrives on campus about 15 minutes later.
By Train/Bus
The train terminal is located in Providence's downtown district.
From there, you should take a cab to campus. The Bonanza bus terminal
is located to the north of downtown and provides a free shuttle to
Kennedy Plaza. From there, you can either walk "up the hill" (about 10
to 15 minutes), or take a bus or cab to campus.
By Automobile

Follow signs for I-195 East. Once on the ramp for I-195 East, move over
all the way to the right as soon as possible. Take exit 1, Downtown
Providence. Follow the exit ramp to the first light. Turn right onto
Dyer Street. At the third light turn right onto College Street. At the

To get to Brown Hillel from the Visitor Parking Lot
On foot: Walk back up Waterman Street (west) to Brown Street, and
turn right on Brown Street. Brown Hillel is the first building on the
second block on your left. Brown Hillel is on the corner of Brown and
Angell Streets.
By shuttle: Cross Brook Street and take the BrownMed/Downcity
Express, which stops at the corners of Waterman and Brook streets every
15 minutes. Tell the driver you would like to get off at the Admission
Office (corner of Angell and Prospect streets).
Alternative Parking
If the visitor parking lot is full, continue down Brook Street and
turn right onto George Street. Take the second right onto Prospect
Street (you will be near the Van Wickle Gates again). Continue through
the next light. At the next light you will see the Admission Office on
your right. Go straight through the light and look for a parking place
on Prospect Street or on one of the side streets off Prospect Street.
Parking near the Admission Office is on-street metered parking. Demand
is high for these spaces so please be prepared to do some circling to
find a spot. Meters accept quarters only and are limited to two hours.
