As a former Rhody native who commuted from Providence to Boston, Cambridge, Waltham, Westborough and Framingham I can say with certainty the commute is do able. Not via public transit, but by car np. My only suggestion would be to have/get a car that you are very comfortable in and make use of any occasional “trapped” time in your commute by filling it with audiobooks, etc.

It’ll likely take 50 - 70 minutes on an average day and depending on deep into Prov you start and how deep into Needham off 128 you need to go. Welcome to the Ocean State! Over 410 miles of coastline, coffee milk and hot weiners!!!
