I'm a proud alumni of Assumption College. I have never met such wonderful people. I also had the…read moremost amazing professors. The education at Assumption is something so unique, your life really is transformed like the motto claims. Being grounded in the liberal arts, the curriculum offers so much to the students. The walls of the classroom fold down, and the knowledge you learn from individual classes becomes one. You are transformed into a critical thinker, a knowledge seeker, an intellectual, and a man or woman of great confidence in yourself. It is an unparalleled school filled with amazing faculty, students, opportunities, research, community spirit, school spirit, and thrist for truth. Being a science major at a catholic college was something that was always a challenge. I think that I am a more aware scientist in the fact that I know some things can't be explained with science alone. I am in graduate school right now at Northeastern University, and I am prepared for the all the challenges ahead both in school, and in life. I am confident in my ability to tackle everything that life will throw at me because of my experience at AC. Assumption is a hidden gem. When you find it, your life will truly be transformed.

I took my first college course at Quinsigamond at 15 years of age. There were only three night…read moreclasses left so I ended up taking speech and communications! We had to give the first speech in the auditorium. That cured my fear of public speaking for life! I went on to graduate high school at 16. Then I attended Quinsigamond from 16-18 years of age. I joined student government and became secretary. My second year, I became student government president and was Valor Victorian at graduation. That course in Speech really paid off! I went on to U-Mass Amherst and have been teaching in Florida for over 25 years. If I can do it, anyone that puts their mind to it can end up successful after studying here. I visited this summer when I was home. I'm so impressed with how much the campus has grown and how beautiful the property is. I was impressed with the food bank. The quality of the food that they have was amazing with fresh vegetables and meat. The cafeteria and the bookstore are still in the same location. I was able to buy a T-shirt, even though it was summertime. It was wonderful to walk the halls and climb the stairs where I studied so long ago.

"Advisor" who contacted my kid via email, provided inaccurate information that my kid followed to the letter, only to receive contradicting emails from the registrar's office and business office. They want money for a class he is not even being permitted to enroll in! WHAT?!!!!!! Emails were not only written to try to drop the course on the deadline (as the registrar's office does NOT answer phones during their "business hours"), but voice messages were left as well. He COULD NOT drop on his account. NOT PERMITTED. Screenshots are valuable, and I highly recommend CYA to any student. Clearly, this organization not only hires unprofessional and incompetent people, but taxpayers $$$$$$ should not be going to this "institution of learning." Anything but... RUN, RUN, RUN !!!!!!

My experience at QCC even blew this shithole out of the water. The advisor you get will not know your name or even try to.

Off to private school I go.

I am amazed how much the university has grown over the years and the campus is so beautiful. I had a phenomenal experience in my four years there on campus and the nursing program was fantastic. I do some precepting of nursing students in my roles now from other colleges and I must say I feel WSU prepared me far better for real world work than many other programs I have come into contact with. The professors were tough but they cared about our successes and pushed us to do our best and grow and for that I am thankful as I am a seasoned nurse now and it provides me with a solid base for my career now.

Warm up pool as well. 10+ lanes. Good amount of spectator seating on one end of the pool. Not a bad place to watch a swim meet. Vending machines not restoked- drinks sold out and trail mix/pop tarts were the only things accessible. No antibacterial stations and lots of people. The bathroom was not attended to the whole time we were there and it got messy. We parked in the rear and it was very, very cold. The students working the front desk gave us an attitude about entering but eventually allowed us in since we had a stroller and the walk around involved an exterior staircase. Why the attitude? No need. Thanks, you goat!

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).
