I did a similar program at harvard, it was a blast. Providence is not as cool as Boston is though, I'd suggest weekend tripping to bos/nyc if you can.

What course did you take? I'm not sure I'm allowed to leave the campus, and I won't have a car. BUT if i can, I have a friend who lives in providence who has a boat so ill probably do some wakeboarding with him or something.

Calculus and a Video Editing/Production. Probably should have taken some social or history class to take advantage of their professors and programs but it was a rough time in my life and I would not have taken full advantage of it.
There are tonnes of buses and possibly trains if you can leave campus

On the train ride home now, and I have to say that I honestly had the best time of my entire life here. The people were so nice and accepting, and were just very "real" in general. It was one of those experiences where I broke down on the last day because I knew that the experience was going to end, and saying goodbye to all of the new awesome friends I had made was one of the hardest things I've ever done. If you have an opportunity to do a camp like this at any college, you need to do it because you will honestly have such an awesome time that you'll never want to leave
