Hey DZSaigirl....that apartment sounds pretty good--I kind of want to live there!
Some links:
www.projo.com
The Providence Journal—RI’s major newspaper. Look under Lifestyles and you should be able to look up rentals online.
www.providencephoenix.com
An alternative newspaper that has some rental listings (and some fairly scary adult listings).
http://providence.craigslist.org/
This board is sort of a clearinghouse for all sorts of classifieds, seperated by major city. This one actually has some good listings.
www.riliving.com
A real estate website—mostly homes for sale, but occasionally some rentals.
Remember that there are several other schools in the area…University of Rhode Island Providence campus, Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island College, Providence College, and Community College of Rhode Island. You might try looking on their websites or calling their graduate student association offices to see if they have listings for people seeking roommates.
Remember, Rhode Island is pretty small and it’s fairly easy to get around. You don’t have to live in Providence, so look around. Good luck!
