A campus of unique old buildings spread out with many right on the Atlantic Ocean cliffs. In fact, Cliff Walk borders these buildings. Salve Regina offers many educational programs, undergraduate and graduate. Their Pell Center provides excellent lectures on aspects of international relations every year. Not a top requirement if you do not have much time in Newport but a... More

Tour with family. Breathtaking view of Ocean and beautiful trails. When I was walking on the trail near the building, an old couple told me the building is almost 200 years old. pretty amazing i guess!

a very personal and friendly tour for prospective college students. This university is home to many former Golden Age mansions and we enjoyed our tour very much. I have never seen such a clean campus and buildings on any college tour we've had. Great experience.

This small campus is the site of numerous historic mansions and homes in Newport. Although the interiors are not open for viewing, it is well worth the time to drive through the campus and enjoy the exteriors. We toured the campus on a Saturday morning in early October and found that it was very easy to park near each of... More
