Coming to WPI, I was very optimistic. I came in expecting a school where I could graduate and immediately have a good job straight of school, but I was also expecting to have at least a little bit of fun while doing it.

First of all, I must say the social life at WPI flat out sucks. The city of Worcester sucks, there is absolutely nothing to do, and crime is rather rampant (my friend's car was stolen from the parking lot directly behind my dorm). Since the city is uninviting, and sketchy (at best), there's nothing to do except drink/do drugs. The student population is 25% female, which makes things bad, and not a single WPI girl is attractive, which makes things worse. To overcome both these problems, students and faculty generally spew out the same advice "join a frat".

I took this advice, and I will admit it was fun…at first. After a while you pretty much end up attending the same party over and over again with the same exact guys, and the same gross slutty girls from assumption/worcester state/holy cross. It's actually kind of gross, frat guys all try to get a girl at all the surrounding schools, and then they "share the girl" with the frat. In fact, any time someone mentions the name of a girl from a neighboring school at least three brothers will say "oooh I did somthing with her." Frats at WPI are basically just breeding grounds for alcoholism, depression, and STDs.

Classes aren't so bad…I skipped alot, and didn't really study, yet I held a steady 3.5 GPA. One thing I really did not like was the class sizes. WPI's ads constantly brag about how small classes are, and how many faculty members it has, but these claims seem unfounded. In the two terms I was at WPI, 4 of my classes had 100+ students, while only 2 had less than 30 students. In fact the only classes you can expect to be moderately small are the math classes. Typically, calculus classes consist of about 25 students, which is good I suppose, except of the 20+ teachers of freshmen calculus maybe 3 speak fluent english. Most of the time, if you ask a freshmen who his/her math teacher is, they will respond with somthing like, "the asian guy", "the indian guy", or "the eastern european guy".

WPI has about 2000 undergrads…about 1500 are male. 500 of the students are ugly females. WPI is basically like my high school, only with way more nerds, and absolutely no attractive girls. It's basically a prison, only with worse food, and more body odor.

                                                     
Responses
responseEverything about this article is true. I want to reinforce how horrible the curriculum for near all departments, electrical, chemical, computer, and mechanical engineering. They are all average at best.

The school is horribly expensive, and student body is fragmented, disinterested and bland.
Spend four years elsewhere.

responseThis is the single best description of life at WPI I have ever read. Heed these words.
responseAbsolutely spot on. Everyone planning on attending WPI should read this review.
responseI could not have said it any better myself, though I bet WPI is awesome if you are a moderately attractive girl. A 7/10 will be made to think she's a 9 or even 10/10.
responseHmmm. Guys who buzz on about the quality of the girls being low..and I bet they are studs themselves, eh?
response100% true. I didn't listen to the negative reviews because the campus looked fine on the tour, and now I sincerely regret it. Girls are ugly and immature, classes are huge, and taught by incomprehensible TA's. There is nothing to do, and the food is absolutely disgusting. We are only in the second term and there have been 5 robberies on my street. I guess the upside is that extracurricular groups are good, and there are some interesting professors/classes. In short, save your money go elsewhere.
commentHere's a thought: stop basing girls entirely on their looks. You make it way too obvious that you're a horrible human being who whines and complains about dumb shit. How do we know you're not butt hurt because of being turned down and took to a random website to complain about "ugly girls". Pathetic really. I say get a life, get off your butt, and look for girls elsewhere like everyone else does. You sound like an idiot.
commentI am glad to read the biography of this student and grades he achieved. This institute is teaching creative skills to the students and I recommend them to pay someone to write assignment if it is much difficult for them to pay attention on assignment, study and exams at the same time.
