A warning--the East Side of Providence, where Brown and RISD are, is pretty expensive. The Mr and I paid $800 for a one-bedroom there a year and a half ago--and it's probably gone up. The area around JW--Downcity--is a bit more affordable. They should have an off-campus housing registry for you, with lists of other students looking for a share. How far you can go depends on if you have a car--I pretty much walked everywhere, or relied on RIPTA. The grocers tend to deliver.
Providence does have a craigslist.
