With more than 30,000 college students, Worcester, Massachusetts
has become a city that offers a little something for everyone. And
it’s only getting better. As the city continues to grow, around
$1 billion is being invested into the new development projects for
downtown Worcester. It's safe, and many Assumption students find
part time employment in the city! It's becoming “the”
destination for college students.
