Years removed from WPI, I still visit regularly and keep in touch with the many people that I became close to in my tenure at WPI. I was a student hall director/resident adviser for four years and feel like that gave me good perspective on what residents halls are worth staying at and which are worth avoiding. Basically the classic residents halls (not built within the last 5-years) break down as follows: Morgan/Daniels - Renovated in 2000 or so mostly 2-person and 3-person rooms, this hall was original built to be two person rooms, large floors Morgan is around 50 ppl per wing, Daniels 60 per floor, good for people who like to have a lot of acquaintances. Morgan is a clear view Hall, Daniels is more broken up and usually what happens is that three/four rooms clustered together in one area on the floor in Daniels become friends while Morgan with the open Hallway gives you more options. Riley was last renovated in 1995 or so, larger rooms, 5-6 people to the room suites, these are better for people that would like to have a close nit group of friends in lieu of acquaintances, the setting forces you to be close to your roommates which can be good or bad if your personalities don't match. daniels, morgan and Riley are all located on the quad and the closest to the campus. Stoddard is 3-buildings in a quad area, all floors are divided in the center by a bathroom and common area, there are 6 rooms on either side of the bathroom, the total number of people on the floor are smaller, usually there are a high number of exchange, long distances and foreign students in these buildings because these people are too far away to look at these dorms built in 1976, I don't believe these buildings have been renovated to date. Floor set up and numbers on the floor are good for developing a tight nit community. Common area in the center of the three buildings seems like it would/could be beneficial but seems like it is rarely used. Institute is removed from the campus in the vicinity of the fraternities, freshman assigned here usually complain about the walk to classes and the noise on weekends. The hallways are a little tight and the rooms are a little smaller, set up is akin to the combination of Morgan Hall and Stoddard in a sense. Founders was built in the mid to late 1980's i believe and has not seen a full renovation to date since being installed, larger suites than Riley with an added bonus of a common room good for groups of people going to college together that don't want to meet people outside of their group of friends. For classes the best recommendation that anyone can give you is to go to every class, sign up early for classes online in the event that you need to change and always sign up for ADLN options for classes even if you are on campus. The reasons for these area 1. some professors have a quiz that basically just consists of taking attendance, pretty easy to score 100%, pretty stupid to get a 0%. 2. Sign up for classes early because the popular classes and professors always sign up fast. In some instances required classes that are not your entry level requirements fill up almost immediately. 3. Sign up for ADLN because you always have the option to walk in and sit down in class if you fall behind but then also get the luxury to re-watch videos or even not attend the live class if you are unavailable. Construction in the area has been going on the for past 3-4 years which has made the already difficult parking situation on campus even more difficult, if you can avoid bringing a car onto campus and just walk or carpool with friends. Typically finding parking is easiest if you commute from WPI if you come in the morning and stay for that day. Word of warning if you are a parent, ALL visitor parking needs to be registered with Campus Police or you will be ticketed. Like most things in life, you will get out of WPI what you put into it and is not for everyone. There are a lot of programs, organizations, clubs, sports, activities and job opportunities available but like programs any where they typically don't come looking for you, so seek them out, try and go to a lot of things at least once to get an idea if it is something you would like to do and give things a chance. No one ends up enjoying college but just hanging out in there room all the time playing video games. Terms are 7-week terms, 4 per year, each term has different scheduling constraints based on the term, ie Calc 1 is only available A-term (fall). 10-day breaks in between terms with a month long break for x-mas (winter). Not many classes offered in E-term, like wise is a 7-week schedule. Typically 3-classes are taken per term. You can take 3-educational classes and one gym class a term without getting charged extra for the extra credits (full time student tuition).

LIFT HIGH THE CROSS!!!…read more Grant G. is one of my fellow Class of 2010 classmates, and I can not say it better. Holy Cross is the bomb. We are THE top Jesuit school in New England (never mind Boston College, because they are good at sports), academically, we are equals to the Ivy Leagues and Georgetown. A fun fact for those that don't know: in the days of religious intolerance in Massachusetts, Holy Cross was not allowed to confer degrees because it is a Catholic institution. Bishop Fenwick, the founder of Holy Cross and Georgetown, signed the diplomas and they had to say Georgetown even though the students were studying at Holy Cross in Massachusetts. Anyway, HC continues to be one of the United States' top college's academically and it shows from the caliber of professors and the students. In 2014, Holy Cross jumped the rankings in US News & World Report and was ranked 25th in the US among liberal arts colleges. In PayScale's 2012-2013 study, Holy Cross ranked 7th in the nation amongst liberal arts schools for mid-career salary potential. HC has consistently been ranked by Barron's Guide to US Colleges and Universities as one of 50 of the ¨most academically demanding colleges across America¨, sharing this ranking with the Ivies, BC, Georgetown, and Notre Dame. The Princeton Review also gave Holy Cross a 98/99 academic rating, where only 5 other colleges were awarded a higher rating. Holy Cross flourishes in fellowships and grants such as Watson, Fullbright, and Rhodes. HC professors are a critical piece of this puzzle to the student's success and for this, we are grateful! They are such a part of our success that they will become parts of our lives past Mount St. James and a part of our families. Thank you, Holy Cross. In Hoc Signo Vinces! I know that for attending Holy Cross, I have become a better person. I have left with Jesuit ideals and high caliber teachings that I will never forget. -Andrea D., Class of 2010

I hired Lessard Learning to help advocate for my daughter during the special education process…read more Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Timely advocacy is critical during IEP meetings, but the advocate's availability for meetings was often months out, making it difficult to get support when it was actually needed. I also felt that, rather than helping resolve issues with the school district, I was frequently encouraged to pursue additional outside evaluations and providers. While evaluations can be valuable, I didn't feel there was enough focus on helping me navigate the school process or achieve meaningful progress with my daughter's educational needs. Communication became difficult, and I ultimately had concerns about billing and requested a refund, but we were unable to resolve the dispute. Overall, I did not feel I received the level of advocacy and support I expected, and I would not use this service again.
