More than 100 first-generation college students moved into their new dorms this month at Messina College, a new school run by Boston College that aims to help underprivileged students access college degrees.
The majority of the 110 students will pay up to $200 out of pocket in addition to a yearly $2,000 loan.
The school's residential model sets it apart from other two-year institutions, which are generally commuter schools.
Berrelleza emphasized that Messina College will offer additional support to students, providing them with the necessary cultural capital and knowledge for a successful college experience.
