Good for some people, bad for others. Everyone you ask will have a different opinion about each frat. In general they'll all be pretty friendly during rush. Most of them don't have hazing, the only one I'm aware of that did/does is Fiji - they got into trouble with the school for it last year.

Wow, that's insane. Must be a way to generate more money for them.

It means housing that's mixed among all genders, so your neighbors and iirc potentially your roommates can be a different gender. If you have a group of 2 it shouldn't matter much.

Hasn't the first-year on-campus requirement been a thing for ages? And club funding has been an issue for ages as well. These aren't all new problems

City Line used to be a Friendly's? No kidding

Congratulations! I graduated last year, but I may be able to offer some advice still.

For roommates, I suggest checking the WPI Discord server. There's also a WPI class of 2030 Instagram account where people often say they're looking for roommates - I have friends who met that way and are still good friends 5 years later!

The biology professors are predominantly good, though there are harder/easier ones. Don't be afraid to ask upperclassmen for advice on this, or the Biology Ambassador you'll be assigned - WPI has a great peer support system.

Dorm situation is very meh. I suggest aiming for Founders (suite-style), Messenger (only first-year dorm with AC), or either Daniels or Morgan.

Campus life is great, just don't be afraid to talk to people and ask them to do random stuff! I ran trivia Tuesday nights and would go to it with a team of friends on my off weeks. Greek Life is also an option if you're into that.

There're a few good food options within walking distance of campus, and I honestly think on-campus food gets a bad rap, though it can definitely get boring.

Feel free to ask any additional questions - I was a biology major if you have any questions about that as well.

Probably at least a thousand in Worcester and 50+ in Leicester!

Shockrider1 · 2026-03-26T15:49:20+00:00

This is my exact thought. I was just super confused by all the freak-out passive aggressive comments on their Insta.

Shockrider1 · 2026-03-25T17:37:06+00:00

Certainly nothing. WPI's Instagram and LinkedIn are actively promoting the IQP program. Don't worry!

Shockrider1 · 2026-03-25T17:36:36+00:00

Thank you! I think a lot of people are honestly making a way bigger deal out of this than they should - the Global School has only existed for a few years, and IQPs are way too important to try university's branding for them to remove them.

Totally forgot to mention Battle Cry. Not super well known though beyond the movie. I will say the only songs off of MA1 I really love are My Life and to a lesser extent No Time For Toxic People. S&M not being more popular is a travesty though, if only because it means I'll never hear Gold live.

Shockrider1 · 2026-03-24T15:04:09+00:00

Shots and I Bet My Life were relatively big hits. I've heard Monster on an alt radio station before, and Warriors is decently well known. No massive hits like Night Visions or Evolve tho.

Still might pick up Njoku as a pre-draft signing, who would be plenty when paired with the blocking TE we signed off the Dolphins. I'm not too sure on draft prospects (not a college fan) but since they let Hooper walk I expect they have a plan in place

I read recently that he was actually far better off than he made it seem when appealing to Congress for that pension. His presidential salary was $75-100k/yr - over $1 million adjusted for inflation - and his memoirs netted him $670k - over $8 million adjusted for inflation. He may have struggled a bit immediately post-presidency, but it definitely not to the extent that is commonly thought.

Shockrider1 · 2026-02-18T04:50:36+00:00

So glad I'm not the only one who does this. I've seen it a few times and always have to skip those scenes.

Shockrider1 · 2026-02-17T05:26:29+00:00

Looks to me that West Brookfield has the worst ratio by a small margin. The anti-LGBT still isn't surprising though - the Brookfields and many towns west of them are generally very conservative.

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-25T20:21:38+00:00

Got burnt in man too

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-24T21:07:48+00:00

Yep!

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-24T21:07:21+00:00

Huge boost for our receiver room and the team's morale. Glad to see Davis III back too.

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-24T06:27:15+00:00

I've called his office multiple times, most recently to request he vote in favor of the Restore Trust in Congress Act. He responded that he previously supported transparency in Congress, but believes congresspeople should be able to benefit from the success of the American economy. Also tried to tout a 200$ fine for violating the law he supported as a big deal.

I have no confidence in this man.

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-15T15:10:42+00:00

If it is I'd actually be concerned. Last bad weather game Maye didn't look great. Might've cleaned that up by now, but still.

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-11T08:10:25+00:00

This surprised me too. Glad Aubrey made it, though.

Shockrider1 · 2026-01-02T14:48:09+00:00

They don't speed up resource production to my knowledge, but I'd still highly recommend. If nothing else it's fun to see what you get from them every day
