Yes, it is. I got my Bachelor's there for robotics engineering. It was difficult, but I learned a lot and it was fun. I met a lot of amazing people.

Prior to WPI, I went to QCC for my associated for engineering. They have an articulation agreement between the schools. This let's you transfer the credits from QCC to WPI with no questions asked, essentially. You have to follow the program though.

QCC was also a great school for engineering. It absolutely prepared me for WPI, especially taking summer classes with Dadbeh, the engineering dept head.

WPI does accelerated classes, so your in class for about 8 weeks, with three classes each, then you go I to the next semester. It's 4 semester a year, so you end up with a lot classes and work. It's all project based, so you're working with a group. This is both a blessing and a curse, but out of all the groups I had, in two years there, I only had maybe 3-4 sub par group mates.

Again, it's difficult, but it's well worth it.

Further more, if you can go to QCC prior, and you do well, and get into Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society and are active, you can get a substantial scholarship to WPI. I ended up with about $60,000 in college debt for a Bachelor's degree, which is roughly the cost a single year. Again, it's difficult but we'll worth it. QCC is very much a "get out what you put in" type of school. If you're hardworking and dedicated, you will learn a lot more than the average student who is just going to college because that's expected of them.
