Worcester Rocks

Home to more than 30,000 college students each academic year, the greater Worcester area is an active, vibrant and energetic community. In addition to its diverse student population, the 13 Consortium member institutions attract more than 11,000 full and part-time employees to the region. Downtown Worcester is in the midst of a dynamic revitalization effort as over $1 billion is being invested in new development projects including CitySquare, the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, and the Blackstone Canal District Initiative. Whether it's catching the latest concert at the DCU Center, sampling the restaurants on Shrewsbury Street, or watching the Worcester Tornadoes (Can-Am League baseball), Worcester Sharks (American Hockey League), or New England Surge (Continental Indoor Football League) in thrilling sports action, Worcester is the place to be for fun and exciting attractions. For those in search of a premier college town the choice is Worcester—and the time is now!
