I
sincerely regret choosing to come to Providence College. I
thought it was the perfect college for me after visiting
it a few times. The tours do completely downplay
religion. I had no real Catholic background and upon
coming here found that you are supposed to know pretty
much everything about it in every class not just the
theology classes. The tourguides told me that religion was
not a significant thing to worry about here. Everyone
is Catholic and knows pretty much everything about it and
it's really difficult to get used to this environment coming
from a public school. All of the students are
from Catholic private schools except for a few who feel
alienated because of it. Everyone is rich and preppy.
There are about five people on campus who don't
everyday put on their Abercrombie and Fitch jeans, popped collar
polo shirt, and Vera bradley bag (which happens to be
the craze at the moment)... the rest of us are
looked at like we don't fit in. This is
a school where they should blast Dave Matthews Band over
the intercom all day because that is all anyone listens
to. You'll find about two indie rock lovers here
and the rest are obsessed with party music and the
like. Everyone here drinks. If you don't drink
or party... you might as as well not exist becasue
no one will want to befriend you after they find
out you are straight edge or something of the sort.
All there is to do every night is drink
or party or go to bars and that is all
anyone on campus talks about. The usual conversation I
hear everywhere I go is “Hey did you go out
last night?”, “Ya, I got wasted, I don't even remember
it”.... and it's disappointing because some of these kids are
in the honors program. The students are intelligent but
closeminded conservatives. If you are liberal your ideas will
be smashed and you will be looked at weird and
you will find no friends. Everyone is obsessed with
going to house parties which are really boring for non-drinkers.
The classes are decent. The teachers are really
good most of the time. The Development of Western
Civilization is a worthwhile class but again all classes require
knowledge of Catholicism. Providence the city is pretty fun
if you can actually find someone to go out and
explore it with you. Good luck. There' s
a lot to do in the city though, but you
are a lot farther away from downtown than you might
think. And the twenty minute bus rides watching all
the PC kids get off at the mall and then
you turn around and see all of the more unfortunate
people who take the bus because they actually NEED to,
are quite depressing. Overall, do not come to this
school if you are looking for something diversse. There
is no diversity. And not just racially but also
in types of personalities. The only types of people
you will find here are preppy rich kids from upperclass
families. You will not be respected for not drinking
or not having as much money as them. I
am transferring next year along with about 10 other people
that I know of. I warn you to stay
away from Providence College. I never cried so much
in my life.
