BOSTON — Campaign finance records show that opponents of the November ballot initiative that seeks to legalize marijuana recently received an assist from arguably the most legendary player in Hub hockey history.
Move-in day for freshmen at Tufts University was this past weekend and upperclassmen arrive this week. I remember how excited I was moving into Tufts. I went on to earn a double major in economics and political science, and then went on for a master's degree in economics and international relations at Boston College. But I felt like I had a third major — debt — since I incurred a high five-figures of debt along the way.
Boston is the Athens of the modern world, attracting nearly 400,000 students from around the globe to its 100+ institutions. And most students are taking on substantial debt for the privilege. One year at my alma mater Tufts costs nearly $70,000 out-of-pocket. Other schools like Brandeis, Northeastern, Suffolk, and Lesley pack a similar punch.
