Life at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

I used Collegepond for the admission process. They helped me to select colleges and then I applied to them. They also helped in the visa process which is quite good and their service is great and is a good option as well.

Course Curriculum :

There is a requirement of 30 credits. The courses are great and helped me build my knowledge in robotic fields like Motion Planning, Deep Learning, control and dynamics. Faculty to student ratio is 1:15 The teaching methods are good and practical knowledge is imparted.

Placement :

The placement is good but again you need to do most of the work. College helps you tailor your resume and then attend a career fair to make contact. But it isn't as easy as it's in India to just sit for placements. Rather we need to do most of hard work. I secured two internships.

Internship :

I still will be doing my internship for the summer. I have gotten into Mathworks. For on-campus jobs, you can work in the food courts

Fees :

I worked part-time and also will be doing an internship. The living expenses are less compared to other cities while the college fees come up to 46k$ for the entire course. Funding is difficult to obtain due to a huge crowd.

Campus Life :

The overall campus life is good. Worcester city isn't that lively so during winters it's difficult to enjoy. Overall there are great events in the summer. The campus fest is not the best. Decent enough. The facilities of gym and sports are great at WPI

Hostel :

I opted for single bedroom accommodation. Off-campus was our choice. We cooked daily and ate outside once a week. The overall cost came up to 200$ and we also lived near campus so no transportation cost as such.
