There is a regional in Worcester at WPI, if your school is in Worcester (Clark, Holy Cross, Assumption, Becker etc.) then this would be the closest regional.
The Boston regional has been held at the Agganis Arena you can get there relatively easily through a combination of Commuter rail and the T.
Manchester and Hartford are both ~1.5 hrs from Worcester and are pretty easy drives, I would also imagine that musses to either city are available from the train station.
My advice would be to get in touch with WPI when you get to Worcester, they have a very active students, faculty, and community volunteers that run all sorts of FIRST programs in the area, they would be able to put you in touch with the right people to volunteer at whatever level you want to. Coleen Shaver (she is on CD as ColleenShaver) is probably the woman to contact for all things FIRST in the Worcester Area. Libby Kamen (Libby K on CD) is probably the person to talk to in Boston, I believe she is the volunteer coordinator for the regional.
