I’m a big believer in Springfield but it definitely has challenges facing it. I think the overlooked advantage that Worcester has over Springfield is the colleges in Worcester. It has a lot of colleges and some of those students stay there. Not sure that happens as much in Springfield. Other than healthcare, banking and some lawyer jobs, there’s not a ton for young people in Springfield.

There are colleges in Springfield, AIC , WNEU , Springfield College , BayPath , UMass has a campus downtown. I feel like a lot of these people commenting have never actually been to Springfield.

I work in Springfield. The colleges in Springfield don’t jump out like Worcester’s.

Springfield is part of the so called Knowledge Corridor. There are 4 colleges within Springfield alone, and over a dozen in the greater Springfield area.
