Worcester – A College Town From Students' Perspective
As the second largest city in New England, Worcester, Massachusetts is a vibrant college town! New and trendy restaurants as well as a collaboration between the city, Chamber of Commerce, business leaders, hospitals, and the 11 college and universities has created a city that provides abundant internship and career opportunities for students.
As stated in a recent New York Times article, "Long a college town, Worcester now looks the part."
