Somewhat? I’m not into craft beer myself. I like Bud/Bud Light - basically a light lager. Trying to see what the prices are like (I’m coming from paying over €5 for a pint of Bud - about $5.50) and more interested in places that have regular draft beer than specialising in Craft beer. And trying to get a feel for what to expect price-wise while finding places good for us middle-aged kids.

Your partner thinks Guinness loses its quality on the voyage to the States so chooses Yuengling as it's replacement?

While I've drank my fair share of Yuengling, I wouldn't abandon even a poor Guinness pour for it.

Scruffy Murphys has good beer prices. I think I was paying $6.50 for a pint of Guinness. I imagine domestics are even more reasonably priced.

Only comment I have that others haven’t said is that WPI used to (may still, I don’t know) have a reputation for never canceling classes for weather. They did it once when I was an undergrad, when we got like 2 feet of snow and it didn’t get above freezing for over 10 days, and even then classes were only cancelled for a day or two while the snow got cleared. All the other colleges and the public schools were closed for a week at that point. So the cold weather gear is that much more important.

free i don't know about but there are lots of campgrounds nearby. Willard Brook is a state park up in Townsend not too far from Fitchburg. if you head west just a bit there's a bunch in the Winchendon/Hubbarston/Phillipston area.
