The university's main campus is located in Kingston, Rhode Island of the USA. Rhode Island is 400 miles of New England coastline, dripping with beaches and fresh-from-the-ocean seafood.

This historic region is a place of old towns that preserve America's industrial history; ethnic dining, courtesy of the French Canadian, Irish, Italian, and Portuguese immigrants who have settled here; small music and performance venues; and outdoor recreation. It’s elite schools, local farms, fine dining, and walkable cities. It’s artistic, rebellious and historic and modern, welcoming and diverse.
