WPI isn’t WPI without Worcester. It’s New England’s second-largest city, about 40 miles west of Boston, with over 35,000 college students across eight campuses, making for the best of both worlds: the charm of a college town in the middle of a bustling city.
But just like its pronunciation (it’s “Wuh-stah,” by the way—yes, the "r" is mysteriously silent), Worcester is more than meets the eye.
