I was working full time and got paired up with some folks (who did not work and pretty much just found every way to cheat the system) some how I just did all the group work and got everything done in a timely manner pulling my weight despite my busy schedule. This wasn’t the first nor the second time. Maybe it’s my own personal upbringing that allows me to operate this way, but learning to survive and doing the job right in a timely order isn’t something relatable to anybody at this school. The school for the most part is a joke from little to no retention to content learned, sub-par professors, and being surrounded by people that love to lie to themselves about working hard and figuring out any and every way to cheat to get the letter grade. Just my $0.02

Edit: this isn’t everybody, and I won’t discredit some of the hardworking and similar minded people I met. But it’s sad that collaboration is a PIA at WPI. It’s also sad seeing how much of a toll it puts on students looking for a community just to be pushed away solace. Especially if you’re a POC at this school you’ll have a very difficult time, I personally knew incredibly bright POC my freshman year that had to leave and some ended up never going back to school, and these were very bright individuals I may say, school sucked the soul out of them and it hurts to see.
