Major: Architecture (This Major's Salary over time)
Basically, WIT is a decent school if you want to learn a profession, get a degree, and get out of there. Its 100% business. The architecture program is good IMO, although a lot of your time is wasted on stuff I still can't understand how it was related to architecture. Like 3D quilts. I'm sure most schools do this though. You will learn a lot once you get past the bullshit freshman year classes.

Its NOT a school where kids hang out on campus. Its tiny, ugly, and there is absolutely nothing to do besides the little activities they try to come up with to make up for the lack of actual activity on campus. The most they have is a room with some pool tables, and 2 tennis courts. Actually I think there are sports teams, but nobody really seems to care about them. There's so little school spirit here.

You'll spend 95% of your socializing time out in Boston, like on surrounding schools campus. They almost might as well not even have dorms because aside from the one hallway style freshman dorm everything else is suite style, and super unsocial. Most people here don't know anyone else on their floor. You just spend all your time with your suitemates and everyone has these small social circles and they just chill in their suite. Its near impossible to find good parties here because its a totally dry campus, no frats. Also, this makes it hard to hang out with other people in your major, since everyone leaves campus and you never run into people you know. Then there's the BIG bad part about this school that I'm sure you've heard, this is probably the single worst school for girls you are going to find on Earth, which also plays into the lack parties thing, since we all know why we go to parties.

First off there is the 85-15 ratio, and even in a program with a good amount of girls like mine…somehow, there is just an extremely high percentage of ugly girls. I don't know what attracts ugly girls here, but its true. There has only been a single nice girl in all of my class up to half way through sophomore year, the same girl both time, and thats out of like 30 of em. Maybe I'm just unlucky, I don't know, but its been bad. Its probably not as important to most as it is me, but really, if you go here, even if you are really good looking, your chances of meeting somebody or getting laid are really REALLY low.

We pay 30k a year to go here, but you wouldn't know it. As I mentioned before, everything besides the two new dorms is old and run down in comparison to all the surrounding schools. The food is okay from the one tiny cafeteria they have here, but the Mass Art one is much nicer and has better food. I don't know where its all going but it feels like colossal ripoff. We even have to pay for the friggin paper we print.

Thats pretty much it. If you don't care about having a life on campus or about girls and just want to do work and then go to your dorm and play video games all night, its a good school. If you want to meet people and actually have a good time, I can't imagine it gets much worse. Walk down same single pathway to class, walk back, repeat. I hear its good for commuters though, and there are a lot of them btw.
