WPI Vs. NEU

<p>My daughter is now a junior at WPI. She enjoys the classes but the weather gets to her at times, she is from CA and not used to the snow as much as the locals.</p>

<p>She chose WPI over several other schools because she liked a small school and the feel she got from WPI. She wasn’t happy at first about being in a triple in Morgan. But it was a large room and she had fun living there. She and one of freshman roommates and another girl ended up getting an apartment about 10 minutes walk off campus their sophomore year. They are all together this year and have since signed on for their senior year in the apartment as well. WPI has been building more dorms and there will be more on campus housing options that were available to her. </p>

<p>Worcester is not a bad town to do things in. There iare local minor league baseball and hockey teams that she has attended games at. Cheaper and easy to get tickets for than the major league teams in Boston but just as fun. Local music can also be found. She and her friends have also gone into Boston occasionally, either buy car or have taken the Amtrak train. So that is an option.</p>
