New England Proximity Clause - Westfield State University

Good Friday morning! For our class assignment this week, we had to determine which cities in Connecticut would be eligible for the New England Proximity Clause for Westfield State University. Under this clause, students who are closer to Westfield State University are eligible to pay almost the same rate for tuition as in-state residents pay, which is a huge break on tuition costs. The map below shows which cities are eligible for the tuition break due to their proximity to Westfield State.

The map below is the map that would be sent to the Bursars office (The Office of the Bursar is responsible for billing of student tuition accounts.)  It is not quite as pretty but it is an example of what the Bursars office would look for in a map since they do not need any background basemap, they simply need to know which cities are eligible and which are not.

Enjoy and stay posted for more soon!
