South Main Street has largely been considered the sketchiest part of Worcester since I've been alive. Maybe ask other Clark students where they live to get a better idea of good spots

I remember going by there at night and seeing hookers hanging out in front the school.

Are you sure these weren't students wandering home from the bar...?

Pretty uncommon for prostitutes to hang out in front of Clark, not a ton of johns, lots of police attention. Perhaps when the Massachusetts Republican Convention was in Worcester, that was a busy weekend for sex workers.

Were you not going out in the late 2000s/ early 2010s? That’s literally when sex work in the neighborhood was at its peak. The Dunkin’ Donuts on main was featured in a documentary about prostitution. During the early days of the recession it picked up a lot and local politicians ran on anti sex work campaigns

Currently a student there

Sometimes there’s weird people coming on campus but it’s usually pretty safe
