[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS visited a few weeks ago and the tour was a joke. He had a high level of interest (as a safety school) but it is off the list now. Not even an info session. Just some kid giving a tour and talking about the bus schedule and other trivial things. [/quote]

Interesting. Holy Cross was at the top of my list when I was a high school student in the 1990s. Then I went on the tour and I was completely turned off. I didn't even end up applying. That wall around campus is more than just symbolic. I knew a couple people who ended up going there, and they never set foot outside of campus. They were scared to death, reflecting the prejudices about Worcester seen in this thread.

I ended up going to Clark University, also in Worcester. Clark has a much more diverse population than HC, and it is an active member of the community. I am really proud of my alma mater's role in revitalizing the Main South neighborhood and opening up opportunities for the residents through their leadership in the Main South University Development program. They really managed to improve the neighborhood for everyone without gentrifying it. It's kinda awesome.

Even back then, Worcester had a gritty charm if you weren't afraid to look for it. Don't listen to these posters without seeing it yourself. [/quote]
