Q:How do people usually keep their clothes? Hangers in a closet or folded? Also, can you talk a little bit about wardrobe? I'm coming from crazy weather desert Texas so I have no clue what to expect!
Honestly, this totally depends on the person. All rooms are provided with dressers and a closet/wardrobe.
Providence weather really varies throughout the year, as with most northeastern locations. The first few weeks is really hot and humid, so you are going to want to wear really light material.
After that, for the next few months, the weather alternates between comfortably hot, windy, dreary, and (mainly) rainy. For this period, its really hard to say what you should be wearing. I would recommend preparing to wear lots of layers i.e. sweaters, cardigans, light jackets, scarves, etc. Brings lots of rain gear because it really does rain a lot.
From about late November through March/April (it can be pretty unpredictable), its gonna get cold, especially to your standards. Again, layer, layer, layer. These layers should be a little heavier–add hats and gloves. It will snow a few times, so look into snow boots of some sort. It can also get really dark, especially in February, which has nothing to do with clothes but I feel like non-northeasterners didn’t expect that. Sprinkled in there towards March it can be randomly hot, or at least that’s how it was this past year. Don’t be fooled into thinking winter is over, it’s probably not.
From mid or late April through those last weeks of school in May, Providence weather can be pretty damn spectacular. Clear skies, lots of pretty nature, great temp, and so on. Expect to wear summer-ish clothes while lounging on the Main Green. Spring in Providence is honestly the absolute best; it makes those dark days of Winter worth it. Luckily, it’s just in time for Spring Weekend and Senior Week! Look forward to those days.
