Incoming Students
Helping the incoming Chinese students to make a smooth transition to life at WPI has been one of our traditions for several years. This year, we want to continue it by including an updated WPI Survival Guide (a handbook edited by Chinese students in WPI) and advices about choosing house/dorm/apartment, selecting courses and other things.
If you have any other question, please read FAQ firstly. If you cannot find the answer, please email chinastudent@wpi.edu. We will try to reply your email as soon as we can.
