Autumn in Rhode Island


The fall is the perfect time to get outside with your family and enjoy some of the traditional activities of this beautiful New England season!  Pumpkin and apple picking, hay rides, food festivals, and soccer games are just a few ideas.  Even just taking a drive together to see the best of the fall foliage is worthwhile.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and while some students choose to travel over the long weekend, we truly recommend that you spend Thanksgiving day with your host family.  This is a unique opportunity to experience this important American holiday.  Families gather together to eat massive amounts of turkey, mashed potatoes, apple pie and so much more.  Then they crash on the couch and watch football!  They will be eager to introduce you to their friends and family, and will be excited to share their traditions with you.

Enjoy this special time of the year.
