Haha...fair enough.
KSigRC gave a good rundown of the area; it's definitely a rough city, and you'll want to familiarize yourself with the good and bad parts fairly quickly. The description of it as a classic NE blue-collar community is rather apt, as I would compare it to someplace like Waterbury (in Connecticut) or some of the other industrial towns in MA and RI.
I know a few people who went to college in Worcester (both at WPI and at Clark), and the WPI people really enjoyed it. There are even a couple of friends who commute to Boston for work and have bought homes in the city, as the home prices aren't nearly as steep as those in the immediate Boston area. It will definitely take some getting used to, though.
