Worcester . . .
Worcester's population of 170,000 (plus 30,000 college students) makes it the second largest city in New England. Incorporated in 1722, the city has long been a center for innovation. At the time of WPI's founding it was a bustling manufacturing center making a host of products for a growing nation. Today it is a major center for the 21st century industries of biotechnology and biomedicine. Nearby, along the Rte. 128 and Rte. 495 corridors, is one of the nation's most successful high-technology regions.

Worcester is well known for its many colleges and for such cultural centers as the Worcester Art Museum, which houses one of the finest collections in the country, and the world-renowned American Antiquarian Society, both of which are adjacent to WPI. Also nearby are the historic Higgins Armory Museum, Worcester Historical Museum and the EcoTarium. Music is well-represented by several excellent choruses, a symphony orchestra, and concerts performed by internationally recognized artists in the beautifully restored Mechanics Hall, one of the finest concert halls in the U.S. The city is home to several theater companies and the new Worcester Centrum Centre, a 15,000-seat arena and conference center that hosts a variety of entertainment events and conferences.
