The bad? The good? I'm accepted there as an undeclared major and want to be a pre-med student. What do you think?

First, congratulations! Providence is a solid school. I like its location, and the size is great - small enough that you can get personal attention, but large enough that it is not claustrophobic. Their Biology and chemistry departments are both good, but I do not have specific numbers on their admissions to medical school.
Students at Providence come mainly from the Northeast, and tend to be middle and upper middle class. There is not much racial diversity, and a high percentage of students are Roman Catholic and tend to be more conservative that at many other colleges. I don't like to stereotype any school as a "party school" because really there is partying at MOST schools.
My advice would be to visit now that you have been admitted, even if you have visited in the past. Ask admissions about who you can talk to about Providence's pre-med advising program, and ask that person for specific numbers of how many students apply to med school and are accepted. Also ask admissions to arrange for you to sit in on some classes and stay overnight in the dorms. Talk to students, walk around campus, just see how you feel. That's the best way to figure out if it's the right school for you! Good luck!

It is a good school because before a school could operate they have to meet the standards required by the Ministry of Education.
