Some other Rhode Island / Providence ideas:

A photo at the Brown University gates (College/Prospect) and another at the state capitol

Seven Stars Bakery for coffee

Al Forno’s (best pizza honors and award from the Italian government)

Greg’s Deli lunch

A quick stop to see the interior of the Atheneum

PV Donuts (1 each Masala, Passion Fruit, and Boston Cream)

Walk down Benefit Street

Check out the mural on Friendship Street

Theater at Trinity

Take out from Pastiche

Ice skating down town open air rink

Pizza on Federal Hill, deep dish Sicilia’s

Day trip loop to Coffee Depot in Warren, DeWolfe Tavern in Bristol, Ocean Ave scenic drive in Newport (you can park at LaSalle to walk the cliff walk if weather permits), Thames Street cobblestones in Newport, Beavertail in Jamestown, and a stop in Wickford.

Add pizza strips, coffee syrup, Del’s, chowdah, and New York System for the win.

But those credits would almost assuredly have transferred to UMass. (I don’t know if that was true in the 90s, but it’s absolutely true today.) If you take classes from one of the state community colleges, any of the state universities of UMass will accept the credits. You’re talking about making policy for community college students because you chose to transfer to a private university that unsurprisingly wanted to maximize their revenue by not accepting (certain) transfer credits.

If you don't mind going down to Rhode Island for the Newport Mansion tours, the Breakers is open I believe (the other mansions might be closed, but if you haven't been then the Breakers is the one you want to see anyway). While down there you can hit up some seafood shacks or something.

Back bay? Don't take it personally but they paid $43 to park there so they give everyone the gfys face. If you took the commuter in you have black lung cause they won't fix the fans and the escalator eats people sometimes, so you gotta expectorate and pay $300 for the pass so also angry looks from them. These people have black lungs, not black hearts You want friendly? Go to the Friendly Toast, and that's a chain so you can enjoy that outside of Back Bay

Yes, that's what I said.

What, do you think everyone without a college degree is broke? Now that is naïve.

That's the sort of attitude that makes so many of these kids think they need to take out huge loans they can't afford for degrees that won't help them, we gotta stop this attitude of "people without degrees will suffer".

But we already are an educated population, and can barely do more, outside of making things fairer outside schools. We are the educated population philosophers and people like Horace Mann imagined. The bar just gets moved.

Never mind that you aren't the person I was asking, and they were just giving a cliché. In this case, it's education to convince others to hire them over just hiring people where they can learn on the job. That's stupid.
