Brown University Visitors – Football & Film Festivals

Guests of New England's Ivy League Schools

Set in Rhode Island’s state capital of Providence, Brown University was founded in 1864 – making it the third oldest university in New England. Head to College Hill in east Providence for a visit to all 143 acres of Brown, and catch everything from Ivy League conference games to films festivals and shopping.
