An offshoot of America's second-oldest pharmacy college, MCPHS Worcester tucks its health-sciences buildings right into downtown Worcester, steps from City Hall and Mechanics Hall.
A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Worcester has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.5 miles, about 41 minutes of walking. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.
Worcester has 15 MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
