I play a sport here and the coaches are amazing and there are many opportunities for clubs as well as internship opportunities and even national honors societies. Step out of your comfort zone and make friends. Profs are all great. People are nice and welcoming. I love Woo. Best experience I have ever had. Make the best out of it, it FLIES by.

Worcester State is really good for those who are experiencing financial obstacles. Worcester State also has many opportunities for a State school which is great compared to universities that like to bring you down and have you pay an arm and a leg to get nothing out of it.

Im in my senior year and I love it, I play college sports so the school was a great choice for me. Most of these reviews of people complaining are because they don't get out more, because there are SO many things to do here if you put yourself out there, I would recommend this school to anyone thinking

The faculty and students should be considered bottom of the barrel. A majority of students don't have a grasp of basic life skills or concepts and most professors copy and paste online notes into powerpoint slides for "class"

Went to this school for one semester and after two weeks there, I knew I needed to transfer. Food is disgusting. Dorms are terrible, everyone goes home on weekends and there's not many activities available for anyone. Parking is hard, most students are commuters. The off campus lot is always full and the shuttles are hard to catch.

Worcester state had made me into a miserable person. I wake up everyday and say f the world. You feel trapped on the tiny campus and there is absolutely nothing to do ever. Everything is off campus and I have no money to afford that. There is no other food options except the pod. If you actually enjoy this school you need to be evaluated.
Overall 1.1
I wish I never came here. I'm already planning on transferring and this place made me loose interest in my passions. Dont come here.
Overall 1.4
This is one of the worst colleges ever. The food is awful, professors do not care, and they try to get you to fail. If you and between this school and another do not come. I have not spoken to one student on campus who is happy here. It is a terrible college experience and will be a depressing 4 years of your life.

This University has a good reputation but most of the staff designed to assist student barely do their job. All this University cares about is is gross income.
Overall 1.8
WSU has some great clubs, but there is not much to do on weekends and there is not enough transportation to get around. Very boring, and same kinds of food everyday that is served. Most people are very miserable and bored on campus.
Overall 1.9
All commuters and no social life. There's nothing to do on campus and not much to do in Worcester. Transferring out ASAP.

A community college in Worcester that does not have a good reputation. Worcester is the worst city in New England. High crime area and traffic accidents. I would spend the money or UMass.
