Thank you so much for the advice!! I think we're going to visit soon and check out west end and federal hill! Our budget is about $2,000 a month since we're going to living together maybe so I'm hoping we could find something! We don't have any pets. We've never lived together so we're hoping to sublease for the summer first to make sure it work out haha. There's not much on apartments.com or other sites like that, but I joined the providence young professionals Facebook group (pending acceptance rn) and I am hoping that'll have some more options?

I consider myself liberal for the most part but Damn some of the people on here just can't stand hearing or reading things they don't agree with. I personally think it's because they know they're too stupid to discern truth from propaganda so better to just not have to consider it and risk having their minds changed.

I commute from PVD to Groton daily. It's really not bad at all; 50 minutes on a bad day, and 45 is standard to exit 87.

Being closer would be nice, but the city has its perks. But it's totally dependent on your rental budget and location. Wouldn't recommend Elmwood. West side, N Prov, East side are all pretty cool and have some great areas, but rent can get pretty up there, especially on the east side (note: not East Providence, the 𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑜𝑓 Providence)

The commute would be doable, but it’ll def be longer than 45min with traffic. Providence public transit is pretty meh, so you’ll still likely need to use Uber if you aren’t walking and busses don’t align.

Rhode Islanders in general are incredibly sensitive to “long” drives. Anything longer that 20min seems too far for many… that’s why a lot of comments say you are crazy to have your boyfriend do that commute.
