<p>Nice video. Thanks for posting. My son is considering Clark U. and it is true that the environment surrounding it is as described, but honestly, five minutes away you can also see the beautiful areas of Worcester. Having grown up in Mass my whole life, I think Worcester gets a bad rep. Having said that, for some reason it cannot seem to raise itself out of that reputation. It is changing, but not at a fast pace. I recently visited the Worcester Public Library to see the Governor speak. The place was gorgeous.</p>
<p>On another note, my oldest son is at college in Philly. You cannot compare the poverty in Worcester to some of the sites I’ve seen in Philadelphia. I did not even realize there was such poverty in America. In areas it looks like a war zone. So, when people say that Clark is in a bad area, it’s all relative. People who gladly send their kids to college in Boston don’t realize that stepping out on the sidewalk there in some areas is way more dangerous than Worcester. Compare the crime stats between Worcester and Boston, particularly crimes related to college students. </p>
<p>It’s nice that Clark is working to help the neighborhood. Great colleges and universities do that.</p>
