Boston is home to a large amount of schools that include Harvard, UMass, Emerson, amongst others.  So when the students go back to school, they’re not only taking over campus, they’re taking over the entire city.

The Onion with the story:

The now-monthlong invasion carried out by more than 200,000 college students who bombarded this normally quiet, historic city has forced native Bostonians to relinquish their rights as citizens and settle into a new life under occupation…

With their concentration in liberal-arts colleges spreading from a centralized location to the outlying suburban areas, the students have made certain that they will maintain a constant presence in all parts of the city.

Some complain that these students presence is overwhelming and burdensome, but when it comes right down to it, they better starting getting used to a large student population, because student numbers are on the rise.
