Your Home Away from Home

JWU’s Providence Campus feels like a community. Our two campus locations — Downcity, located in the heart of Providence’s arts and culture district and Harborside, which overlooks Narragansett Bay — have their own distinct personalities. (And they’re connected by a free JWU shuttle.)

When you’re not in class, our dynamic range of campus services, clubs and events help you take full advantage of your time on campus.
