 | Quite Bright | WPI was an average experience for me. I met a lot of interesting people and learned quite a bit. However, the school seriously needs to do something about their career development center. They basically get paid to do nothing. I can safely say that the majority of students that graduate from the university feel the same way. The only help they give is a bunch of workshops. I mean come on the school costs $40,000 year. The least they can do is to do their job. As far as the academics are concerned many of the professors are very helpful and sincerely want to help you succeed. The project based curriculum is very innovative and one of the best in the nation. However, I regret ever attending the University. I wish I chose a different school. My life is literally in pieces right now. I graduated in May 2003 and I've been looking for a job a year and half. I'm $40,000 in debt and still live with my parents. So far the only work I can find is as a data entry clerk. I haven’t received a single phone call from the university asking me how things are going. The only thing they call me for is to make donations.....go figure !!! | Preparedness: F, Reputation: F | | |

| Not so bright | The projects program at WPI is probably the best part of the academic portion of WPI. Through the projects program, I've gotten to get invaluable experience and make very strong contacts with people high up where I will be starting vet school next year. I do not know much about the engineering disciplines, but the upper level biology classes help to make students employable by educating extensively about current research being performed in the field. I've felt that WPI has prepared me well academically, although one must be willing to put in time to get that out of WPI. Socially, there is plenty to do in Worcester and at WPI through clubs, fraternities, other colleges, etc. However, a student must actively seek things to do. WPI is not really the type of university where people will get things to do handed to them. If you dont make an effort to get to know people and get involved, odds are you wont. But if you want to keep busy and meet different types of people, it can be easily done through being social, joining clubs, and in general having an open mind towards new experiences. All in all, WPI is a pretty good place to be. | Perceived Campus Safety: A, University Resource Use: C+ | | | |

| Quite Bright | The student-professor relationships at WPI are very helpful. Professors are always willing to provide extra help and most will learn your name. | Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: B- | | | |
