WPI is a top-notch engineering school. It's not very well known by the average person, but the people who matter (engineers, people in high places) regard WPI as a great school that turns out quality students. Our project system is excellent from what I hear. A few things about WPI…

It's what you make of it. The people here are a little weird for the most part (no offense) but there's a group of people for everyone.

A lot of people play sports, varsity, club, and intramural, so thats a good way of meeting people.

WPI parties hard. We have 10 frats or something like that and 3 sororities.

The girls… yeah… may require a little looking…

The teachers are mostly foreign, but they are NOT stupid just because their english is bad. The faculty is very smart and the best way to learn is to email them and meet with them personally about something you're having trouble with, they'll always help you. One thing I can say for sure is that there is no shortage of help here.

The people are friendly. everyone basically.

Worcester sucks. There is nothing here, but luckily there's plenty to do on campus, as long as you don't stay in your room playing videogames like half the people here do…

A lot of foreign kids. India, China, Japan, Eastern Europe. No shortage of culture at WPI.

If youre not the best athlete but you want to play sports, almost anyone can get on a team here. Division III

The food is GOOD. Go to morgan/daka, they have a huge variety of things. the goats head restaurant isnt bad either.

The amount of work varies. Usually there isnt a ridiculous amount of work, but the teachers expect you to put some personal time in studying. instead of getting a ton of homework, you usually do more studying. I never studied in high school, but I study with my friends at WPI because college actually counts! this isn't high school anymore people, you have to try now, no matter how smart you think you are, you have to try at WPI.

Overall, good school. Sometimes the people here are so strange it makes me wish I went to a bigger school but it's not overwhelmingly weird. Just make friends with people like you, they're here. in a nutshell, you will not be disappointed with your education here, big companies LOVE to hire WPI students as soon as they graduate.
