Fall Open House

Except for crisp apples and the changing of the leaves, nothing marks the turn of the season and arrival of fall quite like a college open house! There’s no better way to experience Providence College than by seeing it for yourself.

At Fall Open House, you’ll explore our campus, connect with faculty and current students, learn about academics and campus life, and discover what it means to be a Friar. Whether you’re just beginning your college search or narrowing your list, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what makes Providence College feel like home.
