<p>I want to visit my friend in Brown next year but I have no idea what the most convenient way to Providence is without jetting it there. I've heard of a friend talking about shortline-ing it to Boston and then going to Providence. I could also just greyhound it there (but would like to avoid that if possible). Also, I could get to NYC and then take a train to providence.</p>
<p>Anyone have any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Join the Pep Band and carpool for the hockey game.</p>
<p>look into rideboard... under 'students' or something in uportal. it's a carpool forum.</p>
<p>Have your friend visit you. Why go to Brown when he can come to Cornell? :D</p>
<p>Good call. Ithaca is a much more exciting place to be than Providence.</p>
<p>Better parties. Better outdoor activities. Better restaurants.</p>
<p>hahaha yea, he's coming to visit me as well because of the aforementioned reasons, but we agreed that we both visit each other. plus he has some hot female friends ;)</p>
<p>You can always go for Sex. Power. God.</p>
<p>When I was there it coincided with the Brown-Cornell hockey game. </p>
<p>But seriously, a lot of the different club sports/pep activities are a great way to visit friends at other Ivies and other schools around the Northeast. The Ultimate and Rugby teams really get around.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I think you can get a direct bus to Albany and direct bus from Albany to Providence. Might take 10 hours and cost $100 round trip. The Albany bus station isn't too bad.</p>
