JustAnotherModernGuy got a reaction from eco_env in CFPlist.com
Hi All,
We just launched a new CFP website with our unique mapping and calendar tools. Easily find CFPs across the nation or the globe, from a Deaf Cinema Panel in Hong Kong to a Media Studies Panel in Ghana. Want to get away the last weekend of March—see which conferences are running where!
www.cfplist.com
Here's my question...how can we make this site even better and more user friendly? What user needs have we overlooked? Feedback is always appreciated.
All the best,
JAMG

A long time ago I said that UPenn had the best CFP website, but the more I used it the less I liked it. So I built a better CFP website:
CFPlist.com
Check it out!

JustAnotherModernGuy got a reaction from Poppet in Columbia's MA (Only) - Worth it?
I do not recall (from any of my recent 19 PhD program applications or any conversation with various professors) ever being asked

If you are interested in learning about public transportation in Rhode Island, check out the RIPTA website. I believe that it is 66 bus that goes from Providence down south to Kingston (and then on further south). Providence has great public transport (trains to Boston for $7), but there's not too much that goes down to the south county.
I don't know about the graduate students, I think many live in the Peace Dale/Wakefield/Narragansett area, but I'm sure others live in the Providence area and commute down. Much of the faculty live in Providence, generally on the "east-side" of Providence (not to be confused with "East Providence"--different 'city' with own zip code, taxes, etc.) which is an attractive, but expensive area, where the RISD and Brown community is centered. The commute down from Providence to Kingston is roughly 40-60 minutes depending on traffic (mainly highways, but a few back-roads when you get closer). If you love the suburbs, you can easily find a cheap place in the Warwick/Cranston area. I think that some of the faculty with family (i.e. young kids) tends to gravitate towards this last option.
Feel free to PM or email me for additional information.
Best,
