Providence is full of art and culture. the nightlife is great. Very high number of gorgeous women per capita if you’re into gorgeous women. Plenty to get involved in, plenty to do and see, Boston/Newport are close enough to be able to visit for a day without having to live there. We have the best food scene in New England in my humble opinion. Just make sure you own a car. Try to live as close to fox point or federal hill as you can. Upper South side is cool too
