<p>i'm not sure if there's an easy way to get back and forth without a car.
wouldn't it be better to live in providence, anyway? you would get a much better sense of the university and the programs (the actual haffenreffer grounds are quite isolated). plus (i'm not sure who at the university is looking for docents but...), you could probably do something similar at the John Brown House, Nightengale House, or a similar affiliated place on campus.</p>
<p>depending on how long you'd like to stay, it may even be better to ask for a position as a research assistant</p>
