For countless American communities, the first week of school brings a refreshing breath of energy and purpose. For Somerville and other communities in the Boston metro area, it hits with hurricane force.  With so many colleges and universities in the region, we’re not just watching our own kids go off to school: we’re watching as thousands of young adults from across the nation come here to take up their studies.  It’s a favorite time to complain about traffic, about noise and – in some quarters – about the costs of education at every level.
