Students at URI and Brown head back to class

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Students attending the University of Rhode Island as well as Brown University will be heading back to the classroom Wednesday.

Both universities kicking off the fall semester after a long Labor Day weekend.

The Community College of Rhode Island, Providence College, Johnson and Wales University, and Roger Williams University all held opened up their fall semesters last week.
