If I could go back in time and choose a different school, I would. All this school does is stress you out more and more. Some of the professors are rather helpful, but some are only there to recive a paycheck. The school itself LOVES its money and its rules. I pay $50,000+ here, and I cannot even get a professor that speaks proper english. Half the time I think this school is so hard because you cannot understand the professor. The lab equipment is always broke and takes forever get get replaced, if it ever does. Doors are randomly locked for no reason at all. They love to control where you can and cannot go. The registers office is horrible. They never can answer your question about anything. They will always tell you to visit a website, and it never works. Then you go back to ask why its not working and they are no help. The network operations is horrible here too. They can never get the WIFI to work. The school learning website is always down (myWPI). You would think at a tech school that this stuff would be outstanding, but its not. This school is techonolgy driven, and all the assignments, projects, and lectures are on myWPI, but it works only half the time. Therefore, you can't get your work done.

About the only thing that is good about his school is the snow removel. If there is a snow storm and classes did not get cancelled, the sidewalks and pathways are cleared.

My point is that if you pay top dollar for a school, you should get the best of everything. Well here you don't. If the WIFI was better, if the servers were better, and everything else was better. Then maybe I would change my rating. But for now it is low.
