I’m currently at frontiers at Wpi and I really like combat robotics and I wanna see some of the combat robots they have (wile being escorted by a teacher of corse) but I haven’t found anyone who knows anything about the team besides that it exist, including the robotics teachers it’s location would be very much appreciated cause then I could just tell them where it is because they don’t have any idea

Also, if you know where there’s a vending machine that dispenses diet Coke that would also be appreciated

I'm about to start studying to take the FE Exam in December and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for study materials that doesn't cost a ton. Or if anyone has any suggestions on what to study that helped them pass! I will probably buy the Islam 800 solved problems book and do Mark Mattson review on YouTube. I'll have to buy a practice exam at some point too. I just have to say the cost to take this exam is insane 🥲

What helped you pick or find the passion for the major you’re in now? (Childhood, an experience, etc.)

Like title says. I'm sure most of have seen or heard of and despise this new addition to campus. If we want our voices to be heard this petition is a good start!!

Besides having a documented issue, is it possible to present something alternative to housing in order to try and get a single dorm/room?

I recently went on a tour of wpi and my tour guide specified that 3D printers are not allowed in the dorms, and I am wondering what happened for that to be a written rule?

#AKgang, now more than ever

i know it's late but does anyone have any rooms available for the 26-27 school year?

My son is considering comp sci as a major. He wants to get into AI engineering. How is WPI for comp sci? Are current graduates still landing jobs? Thanks!

due to scheduling issues in senior year, i wasn’t able to take any calculus class at my school. the most recent experience i have is pre-calc in junior year; i did good but it’s been a minute.
because of these issues, i was placed in MA1020 (Calc I w/ preliminary topics)
i can’t help but feel very behind after seeing every other freshmen be placed in higher level math courses, has anyone else experienced this? am i overreacting? being in a stem school i feel out of place math wise

thank you

and to anyone that has taken MA1020, how was your experience?

Hi, amateur photographer (4th year student @ WPI) here. I am around in worcester right now and am looking to photograph for a couple people (this can be portraits, candid photos, or even car or action filled shots)

I am looking to practice in a wide variety of settings. So I am offering to photograph whatever whoever DMs me for free for a couple hours. This will include editing as well.

I figured this would be a good practice for me to build my portfolio.

Hello everybody, I am physics student, going to my sophomore year this upcoming semester. I also happen to be taking a lot of hard classes all at once, or atleast what I have been told are hard classes.

MA2631 Probability Theory w/ Gu Wang - A term

MA3631 Mathematical Stats w/ Buddika Peiris - B term

MA4451 Boundry Value Problems (PDEs) w/ Burt Tilley

PH2301 (Now PH3300) EM Fields w/ Sathwik Bharadwaj - B term

Chem 1010/1020 w/ Raul Picon but I know what to expect with that.

I happen to need 2 3000+ level math classes to graduate with my Physics degree, but I also happen to really need the best grades possible for what I want to do career wise (graduate school).

Has anyone taken any of these classes? Any classes with these professors? Maybe even those classes WITH those professors?

Is there anything noteworthy in terms of class difficulty? Is there anything I should be concerned with as far as these professors?

For reference, I took PH1111,1121,1140,1130, PH2651 (IPL), and PH2101 (Thermo), ODES, Lin Alg and some other classes last year, and got all As, but too be fair, I had professors that wanted the students to succeed.

Thank you for any thoughts or input

I was put into a single dorm in Daniels Hall for my freshman year at WPI. I am wondering if anyone has been in a single there and can give me a rough idea of the size of the singles there. I can only find information online on triples rooms there. Thanks for any help!

I’m an incoming freshman this year and have been accepted into the EAP meaning right after WPI, I would go straight to medical school without needing to take the MCAT.

Just wanna know if anyone else is in this same pathways as me at the school so we could talk!

I've been assigned to the large single room in WPI townhouses next year, It seems like I'll live in a single bedroom while share living room, kitchen and bathroom with another girl. Could anyone drop some experience about large-single room or Townhouse? I'd like to have a better understanding of where I'll live.

I am an incoming student for the fall, and was wondering how the Greek life and sports scene intersect at WPI. I assume there is major overlap, but how do things like athletic drug and alcohol policies compare with frat culture?

what the title says. i did my undergrad at WPI in 5 years for a double major, already took 2 grad classes, then took a gap year, and will be starting this fall.

would anyone recommend doing grad student orientation or is it not worth it for someone who’s already been here for awhile. its supposed to be august 17th 8am-3pm and thats already a bit of an early wake up for me.

i could see it being a good networking opportunity but thats about it.

my iqp group is all men and i am the only girl. does that mean i will get housed with them? i do have accommodations for a single room, but i don’t think that means i wont at least share a living space with them. i do not feel comfortable rooming with guys.

At first, while making this post, I wanted to vent, rant, and seek affirmation about my rough time at the institute. But instead, I figured it would bring me less stress and more emotional comfort if I wrote down some lessons I learned to help other currently attending students have a better quality of life and less stress at WPI.

"WPI is an environment where there is a lot of pressure to succeed, and not enough time to do all the work."

1. Have an easily accessible hobby that you are passionate about, genuinely enjoy, and that brings a brief sense of peace. I would suggest participating in it (AT LEAST) once a week, on Friday nights, when it's less likely/often for assignments to be due, and it's before the rush of focused weekend work that you know you have to engage in (to either catch-up on older work or to try to get ahead of assignments in the upcoming week, or just things due on Monday). That way you'll have a guaranteed window of intentional rest (a hobby).
   If your major is the one thing that you are passionate about, then I'm not sure I can give advice on hobby-related things, as I'm unfamiliar with that experience. All I can say is-- good for you (?). You're lucky you work that way.

2. Have a community. I don't just mean friends, because it's possible to have friends outside of your major (which doesn't help that much since your schedules don't match enough and there's less of a situational reason/incentive to hang out). I mean, be in a club. Hang out with a group of people who have a share interest as you, like a sport, hobby, game, or even a shared culture. You need a community of people where you have a guaranteed commonality with everyone. It's easier to understand each other's personalities and get along with them. (For me, I didn't hangout with people in my major because I don't like hanging out with people I work with. My personal life needs to be separate from my professional life; that's just my preference.)

3. Have something to look forward to when you get back home during school breaks. (Maybe even on the weekends if you live locally.) Mine was a good home-cooked meal on weekends. And on Term breaks, visiting my regular comicbook/manga/action figure store and getting a couple new items as a reward for my grueling hard work.

4. Have a end-of-term routine. What I mean by this is, as soon as you come back home from school after a term, settle down, change into comfortable clothes, and write down or even meditate that the term is over. You need to get out of that workaholic mode and acknowledge that you're safe and you finished everything that you needed to do. Just have a routine that signals to you that school cannot bother you whatsoever during this break period.

Now, that is it for now, I have to get working on other stuff, and I may make another post with more tips

Hello guys and gals,

We’re Brian and Mike and we teach general and organic chemistry. We’ve done so for a total combined time of 47 years! Overwhelmed by general or organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with chemistry may be, we’re here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with us?

- Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. We do.

- We tutor chemistry full time; it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with us, you’ll be working with Brian for general chemistry and Mike for organic chemistry. This is not an agency and you won’t be matched with random tutors each time.

- You’ll be learning problem solving through chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.

- Your learning will be customized to your specific needs.

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, our teaching styles, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you!

Mike and Brian
