    Pros

    interesting research. Professors who are doing relevant research. Helpful administration. Close to DCU center (sporting events and concerts).

    Cons

    Some professors do not care a lot about the students/too busy doing research. USES MAPLE! (no one uses maple [a math program]) Some weeks food services are really bad. Not big student government,

    Not a bad college. It fits how I like to live. There is lots to do, you just have to find it. The student body can feel a bit cold at times but if you ask for help everyone is ready to help. Some majors are harder than others, but thats for any college to (i think). The college fits, and thats all that matters

    Pros

    Greek life is amazing, and the basketball team is pretty good. The professors are outstanding and the campus is also pretty nice.

    Cons

    Not much fun to be had outside of campus (which is small), lots of suburban white males, not a lot of females or other races represented, and the food never looked to healthy...

    Pros

    One of the best undergraduate engineering programs around. Students and faculty are very friendly and make for a welcoming environment. Plenty of opportunities to get professional connections.

    Cons

    3 to 1 guy to girl ratio The academic program is very tough (48 classes in four years)

    Comments

    A WPI education will prepare you for anything. The four years I spent there taught me a lot about team work, perseverance, and creative thinking.
