I’ll be taking a group of students on a college tour to Boston later in the year. This will be the first tour that will not include at least 3 HBCUs, cuz Boston. All y’all who made it through in that frozen wasteland: what are some important resources for students looking at Massachusetts matriculation? Are there…

Would not be the first time that’s happened to me at a party.

Howdy.
