Good is relative. What major? What metrics?

People in the comments said that their engineering program is good. Niche has them at #59, usnews has them at #61. Certainly not bad, but it's also not a powerhouse like some other schools.

It's stem classes are rigorous, but all stem classes at good universities will be.

I'm studying in the state of Indiana. There is nobody out here that has heard of WPI outside of those from MA. It's a small school, so it makes sense, but just objectively it's brand is not nation wide.

I've also visited occasionally, and the campus is pretty nice, but I can't really say much beyond that. I also cannot comment on culture or student life.

However, as with most MA schools, their coop program is one of the best out there. The relative density and development of MA makes the college to work transition a lot easier, and generally helps a lot with preparedness. My school also highly emphasizes this, and I can tell you if WPI is even anywhere near the level of my school there is absolutely nothing stopping you from achieving your goals.
