I chose WPI because of the term system and project-based education model, alongside the community that I felt welcomed into beginning with my own tour! Since enrolling here, WPI has allowed me to grow in ways I would not have imagined while making several meaningful connections through all of my involvements! WPI was the best choice for me to advance my education and growth both professionally and personally. The endless resources and connections available to students have allowed me to flourish in all aspects of life while learning to be secure in myself and my capabilities! I am constantly challenged to learn and grow here--allowing me to garner skills that will translate to life beyond college!
