This is a great school! All of the staff and professors are super responsive to any all questions. They also have an online masters program for ECE students, so that you do not have to be tied down to Massachusetts if say, in the middle of your program, a job opportunity presents itself in another s...

WPI has morphed into a blend of non Engineering touchy feely. In fact US News and World Report delisted them as an Engineering college. The place is being held up by past real Engineering. Look at Wiki and note from about 1980 onward the grads or drop outs formed music bands and TV slots??? No En...

This is one of those places that people talk about when talking about excessive student debt. They encourage people to take too many classes. They also don't require you to take prerequisite classes, so you can take classes you have a low chance of passing because you have to race to learn old mat...

This is a great school. Some..well..Most of the professors here are a lot more challenging than other schools, but thats what makes it fun. If you arent being challenged than what is the point of learning? Everyone here is very friendly and willing to work with you if youre having issues with any...

Decent learning experience. Graduated with almost a 3.9 and feel behind from my peers in the industry from other universities.

Student debt at about $65,000 before interest, so better than some other folks, but WPI could definitely improve.

Off-campus opportunities should be made more affordab...

Was the education good? Yes.
Better than others? Debatable.
The value of education is terrible. I spent one year at WPI, and I feared the debt I was accumulating. I later transferred to a school with a more reasonable tuition. I now work at a great job and make no more or less than the expected sa...

I graduated in 2015 after attending WPI for 3 years with a degree in Interactive Media and Game Development.

In a nutshell, I took courses that I truly loved, built a diverse skillset, graduated a year early, and landed my dream job as a video game programmer at one of the biggest game companies....

WPI the approach to instruction is to be close to the material so that students can apply it in real life applications. The student body was thoughtful and thankfully the hype associated with higher education and technical areas of mastery was not found. People are straightforward and honest here. I...

My daughter is a WPI alumnus (Class of '10), and everything I heard about her experience was positive.

Hopefully, I'm about to find out first-hand what the student experience is like as an MBA candidate. So far the application process has been extremely positive with personal, one-on-one attentio...

Our family has had a very less than favorable experience with WPI. Certainly there are many positives and for most people this will probably be the case but in our case the negatives vastly outweigh the benefits.

The quality of education is very good however grueling, with blatant disregard for m...

Speaking from extensive professional and academic experience, I find that WPI students excel in both academic endeavors and in their roles in industry. The theory and practice system helps to create responsible and experienced individuals who excel in the field of electrical and computer engineering...

High quality education and the project-based curriculum really adds to your resume and provides much opportunity to study abroad. I chose a project site at NASA's Johnson Space Center for my MQP. How many undergrads get the chance to work at NASA? Not many. I had friends who went to project sites in...
