Seriously. Don't go here. Absolutely Miserable school. Students arent friendly.. they arent unfriendly, but it is not a fun place to be. Boston is great, but if you want to go to boston find another place. I've had MUCH more fun at neighboring schools.. NEU for example, first time i went over there to see a friend was far better than any time i've had (or even heard of) at WIT.

Only two types of student go here:

Nerds who didnt go to WPI or MIT for whatever reason. These kids wear weird clothes around campus and talk among them selves discussing whether the squareroot of 2 can be proven to be a rational number (I'm serious. I ate lunch with them once)

or

Boring Jocks. These kids have their TV's locked on ESPN and can only hold a conversation if it's about sports or beer. They arent like high school jocks that are stupid and arrogant, they just have limited social skills when it comes to talking to other people in matters besides sports. However, these seem to be the kids who have good times…

Course load is light, and while that seems good.. it makes life there worse because you have so much freetime and nothing to do. Most kids are from the area and go home everyweekend. And although it was my intention to not do that, i ended up leaving EVERY possible chance i got. This past semester, i had no class wednesdays so i would go home friday, come back sunday night. Go home tuesday, come back wednesday night…every week.

Another downer is the lack of scheduling options. Most classes have only a few time slots to choose from. First semester of freshman year you actually dont choose any times for yourself. Second semester you choose them all, but you wont be able to have a good schedule because only a couple time choices per class.
