<p>Anybody from New England who knows anything about it? Has anyone heard of it? How is it? How are the professors? The students? The school as a whole?
Any and all opinions are appreciated :)</p>
<p>I've heard of it, know where it is, and know (to my knowledge) 3 people who went there at one time or another. The location is very good, near a lot of other colleges and universities and right in Boston. The problem is, I think the school has changed pretty radically over the last 20 or 30 years or so. I think it used to be primarily a 2-yr. technology school, pretty much (if not completely) all-male, and, if I recall correctly, the students were heavily regimented in some ways. I believe in recent years they have added 4-yr. engineering programs and have become a more or less conventional engineering school. The school is well-known in the immediate Boston area, not in my experience at all well-known outside the metro area. Probably still has an (outdated) reputation as a school that offers lots of 2-yr. degrees.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the quick response :)
Did the people you know like it? How difficult is it?
I've heard that the professors aren't that great, as in
some of them don't speak understandable english :(
What say you?</p>
<p>Check this out about Wentworth. I heard it on the radio and thought it was very interesting. Click on "Listen" above the photo.</p>
<p>Extremely helpful, thank you so much! :)
That is great news to me!</p>
<p>I've met a few Wentworth kids. They're pretty cool. I know nothing about the school though.</p>
<p>Dear roxy: to answer your first question, the people I knew who went to Wentworth were unfortunately a mixed bag. One guy I think didn't care for it very much, and ended up transferring to another school pretty quickly; another guy liked it OK, but he was a 2-year degree guy; and the last guy doesn't really count, since he was something of a nut and not what I considered a good engineer. Like I said though, I believe things have changed there quite a bit in recent years so their experiences would probably not apply. Is it diffficult? That's a hard question to answer, since difficulty is relative to each individual. Most accredited engineering programs are pretty difficult for the typical student, and one thing I have heard is that "Wentworth makes you work", whatever that means. Sorry I can't be more definite.</p>
<p>Thank You very much, I really appreciate the info :)
I talked to the admissions office recently and architecture
isn't open for spring transfer so he'd have to wait until
fall '08 anyway. Hopefully he'll get into Northeastern! :)</p>
