While WPI has no core curriculum, students are required to test the waters outside of their majors by participating in the Sufficiency. Chad Council '94 found his sidestep especially worthwhile. The student authors give good marks to WPI's facilities and equipment, which they applaud for their accessibility. And as groups work on the MQPs, they are often assigned their own laboratory space for a year. At other colleges this doesn't happen until graduate school.
Faculty members win rave reviews.
Through intelligence, patience and perseverance they help every student become all that he or she can possibly be. The authors reveal that the Career Development Center helps channel almost all WPI graduates into jobs or grad school within a year of graduation. If you can balance work and play, you'll succeed. But if one outweighs the other, trouble lies ahead.
