<p>First off, I am a current HC freshman. Personally, I was not overly excited that HC was in Worcester, but I came here anyways for the academics and community. That being said, there are parts of Worcester that are great. There is a street with great restaurants of varying price ranges and a shopping center with tons of shops, food, and a massive movie theater which buses and shuttles run to from campus every weekend. The only downfall is that you can’t walk to any of these places- you do need transportation to get there which though as I said HC provides either through its own services or the WOO Bus (pretty sure it is run by the Worcester Colleges Consortium). HC does a good job of bringing events to campus so that you don’t feel the need to go off campus all the time. Also, Boston and Providence are easily accessible.</p>
