Bringing a College Campus Downtown

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Catie/Where%20We%20Live%2011-27-2012.mp3

The university of Connecticut is moving it’s “Greater Hartford” campus to downtown Hartford.  The move is being hailed as a key piece of revitalization for the city.  It’ll mean more young people downtown, spreading life, vibrancy, money? But does the downtown campus really bring these things - or are the students really just interested in getting to class and getting the heck out? We’ll talk to UCONN president Susan Herbst, and to people from Capital Community College - which moved downtown several years back. And another campus in the city is trying to change is hard-partying reputation, by forcing frats to go co-ed. We’ll explore big changes to Greek life coming to the Trinity College campus
