Night Owl U

This fall, Bunker Hill Community College in Boston will offer two classes between 11:45 pm and 2:30 in the morning... an hour and a half after public transit closes each night.

College President Mary Fifield says the school, already operating seven days a week, is bursting at the seams with students partly because of the down economy. She says these night owl classes will provide an opportunity for people who work and can’t go to school during normal hours.
