In my second year at WPI, I have found a real sense of home here. I chose WPI because I wanted a place where I could thrive both academically and personally and so far, it’s exceeded my expectations in both areas. The community here is incredibly welcoming and supportive. From the moment I stepped on campus, I’ve met people who are genuinely eager to help each other grow, whether in classrooms, clubs, or just casual conversations.
I have also found that WPI’s hands-on, project-based approach to learning fits perfectly with how I learn best. I love being challenged and pushed outside of my comfort zone, and WPI provides the perfect environment for that through its focus on collaboration, innovation, and real-world experience. The term system has also allowed me to pursue a double major without overloading classes often, enabling me to pursue my interests in mathematics and computer science.
I know choosing a college is difficult, so if you have any questions or want to chat about life at WPI, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
I had only played pickleball a few times before coming to WPI; I decided to join this club with a few of my friends and have been going ever since. It's been awesome to try something new, and I hope to continue to try new things by joining more of clubs at WPI.
I ran track and cross country throughout all of high school and although I did not choose to peruse this at WPI, the running club allows me to continue to run with people who also enjoy running.
GPS is a two-term first-year course that provided an excellent introduction to WPI's project-based learning. In this class, I participated in a research team investigating the effects of hurricanes on chemical pollution. Throughout the course, we created and presented infographics, presentations, evidence-based written reports, and a project poster to a diverse audience. It was an excellent opportunity to start building my project portfolio in my first year here.
