  • Student Housing Trends 2017-2018 Academic Year
    Student Housing Trends 2017-2018 Academic Year Boston’s world-renowned colleges and universities provide our City and region with unparalleled cultural resources, a thriving economic engine, and a talented workforce at the forefront of global innovation. However, the more than 147,000 students enrolled in Boston-based undergraduate and graduate degree programs place enormous strain on the city’s residential housing market, contributing to higher rents and housing costs for Boston’s workforce. In Housing a Changing City: Boston 2030, the Walsh Administration outlined three clear strategic goals regarding student housing: 1. Create 18,500 new student dormitory beds by the end of 2030;1 2. Reduce the number of undergraduates living off-campus in Boston by 50%;2 3. Ensure all students reside in safe and suitable housing. The annual student housing report provides the opportunity to review the trends in housing Boston’s students and the effect these students are having on Boston’s local housing market. This report is based on data from the University Accountability Reports (UAR) submitted by Boston-based institutions of higher education.3 In this edition of Student Housing Trends,4 data improvements have led to more precise enrollment and off-campus data, allowing the City to better distinguish between students that are or are not having an impact on the private housing market. The key findings are: ● • Overall enrollment at Boston-based colleges and universities is 147,689. This represents net growth of just under 4,000 (2.8%) students since 2013, and a 2,300+ (1.6%) student increase over last year.

  • College Goals and Objectives
    TRANSFORMING Bunker Hill Community College THE POSSIBILITIES IMAGINE College Goals and Objectives 2006 - 2009 From the President Bunker Hill Community College benefits from a winning combination of engaged business and community leaders, a committed Board of Trustees and caring faculty, staff and students. Nowhere was this collective investment in our College more evident than the morning of January 17, 2006, when more than 250 supporters gathered to discuss major issues facing Greater Boston and contribute ideas for new College goals to address them. The event has become a College tradition and occurs every three years. While the process is now routine, the energy brought to it last January was a remarkable and galvanizing testimony to the value of Bunker Hill Community College in our region. Moreover, it fueled the intensity with which our faculty, staff and student leaders spent the remainder of the day reflecting upon the morning’s issues and identifying priorities that are now College goals for 2006-2009. I am deeply appreciative of all who made this year’s effort such a success. I am especially grateful to panel moderator, Paul Guzzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and panelists Mara G. Aspinall, President of Genzyme Genetics; Gary L. Gottlieb, President of Brigham and Women’s/Faulkner Hospitals; Gloria Cordes Larson, Partner and Co-chair of the Government Practices Group at Foley Hoag LLP and Milton James Little Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of Massachusetts Bay.I thank Jeanne-Marie Boylan, Bunker Hill Community College Board Chair, and all of our Trustees, who approved the goals contained in this report on April 24, 2006.
