Hello! I have been considering Providence College, but I'm curious about the size of the campus. Large crowds tend to overwhelm me. Can anyone give me an idea of the campus size and atmosphere? Thanks!
Providence College is a relatively small institution—both in terms of campus size and student population. The campus itself spans across 105 acres, which is considered a mid-sized campus. It's large enough to offer a variety of amenities and facilities, but compact enough so that it's easy for students to get from one side to the other in a short span of time.
In terms of student population, as of the latest data, the undergraduate enrollment at Providence College is approximately 4,800 students. This creates a close-knit community feel and allows for smaller class sizes, which means the chance for more personalized attention from professors and staff.
Generally, the atmosphere at Providence is described as communal and personable, where everyone has the opportunity to know one another on some level. It is not so much bustling as it is busy in a comfortable and manageable way. The campus community is very tight-knit, and there are plenty of quiet corners and more tranquil outdoor spots that afford relaxation and study time.
Hope that provides a clearer picture of what you can expect at Providence College!
