Providence College charges $11,060 for a traditional residence hall room in 2026–27, and its meal plans run from $4,660 to $8,630 a year. This guide sets out those verified figures and what I could not confirm about Providence’s other universities and the private rental market.
Details come from the Providence College Bursar’s page for 2026–2027, checked on 23 October 2026. I could not verify rates at Brown University or Rhode Island School of Design, and Apartment List’s Providence page gave no rent figures, so I have quoted no private rents.

I have not ranked neighbourhoods or listed private blocks, because I could not verify prices or area details against reliable sources. View any room in person or on a live video call, get a written lease and never pay before you have one.
