The main campus of the University of Rhode Island is located in Kingston, 30 miles south of Providence, 75 miles from Boston, and 160 miles from New York City. R.I. Route 138, which connects with Interstate Route 95 ten miles to the west, passes through Kingston. The Amtrak railroad station is in West Kingston, two miles from the campus. Buses from Providence and New York City stop at the Memorial Union on campus. The nearest airport, T. F. Green, is 35 minutes away in Warwick, just south of Providence.
We suggest that you enter the University campus at the junction of Route 138 and Upper College Road, at the traffic light. Travel to the stop sign at the end of Upper College Road, and turn left on Flagg Road. A short distance down Flagg Road on the left is the entrance to the White Hall parking lot. This lot feeds into two further parking lots. Pull in as far as possible to minimize your walk to the Memorial Union.
