Life on Campus

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.


Residential Life

Living on campus gives students an opportunity to experience the best of JWU. Our 10 residence halls offer traditional rooms, suites and apartment-style living. Gender-inclusive housing options are available, and we offer pet-friendly communities in select residences.
