Housing: There are a range of housing options in Providence. Some residents live in high-rise apartments in the city center. Others live in apartments or town houses in more residential areas, including College Hill and Oak Hill. Many residents have bought houses just outside the city in Cranston, North Providence or Pawtucket.

Resident Social Life: The residents try to convene once a month to decompress outside of the hospital. Recently we have gathered for drinks at a local bar, candlepin bowling, and dinner out during restaurant week. There is also a much anticipated holiday Yankee Swap every December, hosted by the chief residents.
