Diamon in the the rough, sure the city of Springfield, MA is a dangerous city but WNE is so pure and bliss. Well maintained grounds, beautiful scenery, tons of athletic activities, very with the times, constant updates and campus activities to be involved with. I very much enjoyed my time at WNE and the class sizes are on the small side which isa +

Medium sized campus which makes it easier to get to class in time, every building is nice and the campus is pretty no matter what season it is.

WNE is a small school so you get small classrooms. I don't think I've ever had a class with over 35 students in it and had some with like 7! I love the campus - short distances and has everything you need. My favorite part is the College of Business and opportunities. If you actually utilize everything WNE has and you'll be fine.

NO food, NO ONE is here on weekends, fake frat, no clubs, people on the sport teams think they are above everyone else. My professor literally had a heart attack, I have her for 2/3 classes and now I just have no professors for those classes. Just don't come here you will regret it.

My education is useless, every single office is useless, they will charge you excessive amounts and for what? A shitty education and for everyone to have a bad attitude. I can’t wait to graduate and never come back. Any job opportunity I got was me alone, school was useless in helping but wants to take credit when they did nothing to get me there

All I can say is if you're not an outgoing person then this school is not for you. I came into this school as somewhat of an outgoing person and this school has made me into a complete introvert with its lackluster professors besides for a few and the feeling of seeing the same people 24/7 that you don't like.

Just don't go here. I'm too far in now, just don't do it. small campus its like a sport cliqued high school. not to mention there is a fake frat trying to scam everyone they meet. Just don't bother, can't wait to leave. Professors are cool i guess.

I would never go back here or tell anyone to go here. All four years there is awful food, rude staff, the voices of the students are not heard, my friend got mold poisoning from the dorms, there is no parking, and no one is willing to help. You get only a certain amount of tickets for graduation (4) and they don't accommodate. overall don't gohere.

As an MBA graduate student, I am appalled with this school. They charge almost $3000 per class for professor's that have NO business teaching. I should have saved my money and taught myself on YouTube, since that's basically what I had to do. Good luck reaching out to the Dean as they have an "Oh, well" attitude and defend these useless professors.

I went to Western New England for one year and it was by far one of the worst experiences of my life. Absolutely nothing to do there. Don't go there if you want a social life

All the staff is quitting and it's because of upper admin. You know who you are. Food sucks, the courses are way overpriced and plenty of the teachers suck. Used to be a pretty okay school which is the worst part. Don't go here.

Poor campus is dead.It feels like you are trespassing when you walk around past 6pm. Boring student body. Food is average at best and again the cafeteria best resembles and old peoples home cafe.No greek life. Lackluster and overall lukewarm vibe.Nothing to do off campus.President that pretends to care. Academics are average. Professors hit or miss

Personally did not enjoy my time at this school, transferring after one year. Not much goes on throughout the year and it can get very boring at times. New dining hall took way too long to finish and really isn't living up to all the hype. Parties aren't anything special and honestly unless you play a sport, good luck.
