Boston Braces For Annual College Student Surge
BOSTON (AP) ― Boston is bracing for the annual surge in its college student population.
The city says it will have extra trucks on the street to help collect packing debris and will have additional police on hand to help keep traffic flowing.
The city says it will also have extra housing inspectors available to make sure that apartments being rented are up to standards. Tenants can request on-the-spot inspections from the city.
Boston’s population typically swells each year as thousands of college students from across the country and the world stream into the city for the start of the new academic year.
