Clark University and Worcester: the Heart of New England
Clark University’s 72-acre, tree-filled campus is located in Worcester, Massachusetts, “the Heart of New England,” known for its diverse community and vibrant culture. Our location in the center of the state makes us easily accessible from just about any point in New England, including Boston (one hour), Providence (45 minutes), and Portland, Maine (two hours). We’re also an easy 3-1/2-hour drive from New York City.

Helpful Travel Information
From Restaurant Row on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester to Main Street in Sturbridge, and everywhere in between, you can enjoy farm-to-table, artisanal restaurants that use the best of local ingredients and local harvests. There are decadent dessert bars and bakeries, amazing diners that bring back yesteryear, and charming restaurants in picturesque small towns. In Central Massachusetts, we believe no meal should be ordinary.
