People also forget that a lot of that % is sort of a misnomer.

A huge chunk of it comes from hydro projects, which have existed in the Pacific Northwest, Sun Belt, Tennessee Valley, and New England/Quebec region for more than a generation.

If you subtract those long standing projects from the calculation, I would guess the number of modern projects accounts for closer to 10% of current generation.

I went to Suffolk and lived in the dorms for 2 of my 4 undergrad years, as well as later getting an MPA at the Business School. I also worked there as a Staff member for years.

I would say it really depends on your program and trajectory. If you are trying to figure out what you want to do, go to UMASS Boston for cost and exploration and transfer elsewhere.

I was interested in a career in politics/public service and Suffolk's location, program, and connections locally were amazing. The campus is also in the heart of the city and at this point they have 4 or 5 beautiful dorms on Beacon Hill, Tremont St, City Hall Plaza, and the Theatre District.

Being within a 5-15 minute walk from City Hall, The State House, and multiple major state and federal agencies was a godsend for internships and jobs.

It was also expensive. Again there are some great programs at Suffolk - but your program needs to be a strength of the school to be worth it.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Suffolk University had this policy too - until they outsourced all of their HVAC, facilities, and food services staff and cut the benefit to the incoming staff.

Pulling the ladder out from under the working class one rung at a time.
