“I personally hate living in a dorm at WPI. The first one I lived in, Daniels Hall, was extremely noisy past 2:00 AM every night and I barely got any…”
“as far as i know, as a first year student, you're required to live in the dorms. personally, i believe wpi dorms are no worse or no better than dorms…”
“freshman residence hall living is never perfect. housing ranges from singles to quads. however, if you make the most of it, and become friends with your floor, it can be…”
“Most of the dorms are lofted for freshmen. On campus housing isn't guaranteed for all students, but all students who want to live on campus almost always find a place…”
“Good dorms, with a good variety of choices.…”
There used to be complains about the monotony of the food, so the administration took care of that with a more diverse food schedule, new meals, and a hot plate station.
» Read MoreOk guys, the food sucks... I hate daka (our dining hall)
» Read MoreDuring the overnight we had dinner that night and breakfast the next morning. The food was typical dorm food, but there was a wide selection of it. There were also vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options and everything was designed to keep allergens out of foods they're not supposed to be in. Nothing there was particularly healthy, but there was a pretty decent salad bar at dinner and fruit selection in the morning.
» Read MoreThe dining plan is outrageously priced, and it tastes ok. Once you swipe in you can eat as much as you want.
» Read MoreThe food at the student cafeteria was excellent. I am allergic to both gluten and dairy and was gladly surprised that I could eat several of the entrees that tasted delicious! They also had a special area for those with allergies that was stocked with allergen-free substitutes for foods such as bread and milk.
» Read MoreChart-wells, the dining service, will undoubtedly give you a nasty case of dakareah (google it)... But, there are some good restaurants just down the street from campus.
» Read MoreEh. Not too bad but I'm a picky eater!
» Read MoreI ate on campus in the food court in the student center. Although I love pasta as it is, the food seemed pretty good. A lot of people have mentioned that it can get boring, yet that's how most cafeteria's are. While visiting I noticed that there were other places and also that there is a quite a few restaurants right off campus that you can go to.
» Read MoreMany freshman frequent Morgan Commons for all their meals due to its proximity. They serve many different types of foods and accommodate to any dietary needs. The food is usually pretty decent but some can get bored with it easily so they will go to Goat's Head or Outtakes.
» Read MoreCarb-based cuisine in the main dining facility. The buffet style is almost too tempting for the Freshmen 15.
» Read MoreOur college has one of the best Greek Life in the Nation... We have all kinds of different frats and sororities. You will know which one to join when you get here.
» Read MoreSo many frats and a good number of sororities.
» Read MoreAm considering Greek life. Can be very time consuming but can make a lot of contacts.
» Read MoreTo my understanding, a big part of campus but not in a sterotypical way. Very involved in service.
» Read MoreVery involved in the school and surrounding communities.
» Read MoreAlthough I am not a part of Greek life, I have heard that WPI has a great Greek Life. There is no hazing whatsoever. Greek life at WPI is what Greek life is supposed to be; a support group that brings students together.
» Read MoreMostly community service and networking based. Students should expect to work hard and spend a lot of time volunteering and fundraising for their fraternity or sorority.
» Read MoreThe traditions there are completely different from the stereotypical greek life.
» Read MoreThey all have their own reputations, it just depends on what type of person you are.
» Read MoreMany of the students at WPI go Greek, it is a large part of the campus community and usually students will see sororities and fraternities holding events in order to raise money for their philanthropies.
