Public colleges in Mass. see enrollment boost for first time in nearly a decade. Community college students are the sole driver.
Briefly

Overall enrollment is up nearly 3% from last fall. But, the increase is attributed solely to an 8% boost in the community college population; the UMass system and four-year state schools both did not increase enrollment this year.
Gov. Maura Healey announced a plan earlier this year to make community college free for any resident over 25 without a college degree through MassReconnect, a $20 million initiative. Healey also provided each community college with $100,000 to support its execution this fall.
