Pros

Lots of hands-on experience. Very friendly environment. Great engineering know-how. Young professors. Great gym.

Cons

There isn't a graduate school culture. As a grad student a social scientific environment is important and WPI is too small to provide that volume and throughput.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
