Worcester State University Reviews
Rating 3.48 out of 5 601 reviews
WSU is a good option when it comes to the price, and that's about it. Everyone is either extremely cliquey or quiet, especially after covid. The parking situation is laughable, and has actually become worse in the past four years I've been here. The financial aid office acts like they cannot be bothered to do their jobs, even though they're the ones who applied for the position. When it comes to the professors, there are a lot of hidden gems who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach. But, there are also professors who just don't care about anything at all, and are not capable of properly teaching students. When I was an incoming freshman, my initial advisor would not allow me to switch any of my courses and gave me inaccurate information, which didn't help me feel too welcomed or ready to start my college experience. Overall, WSU is just "ok".
I love Worcester state! such an easy balance between athletics and academics.The campus is such a nice place and overall an amazing environment. The academics are just the right level for each major. If you put in the effort you will definitely succeed. Overall, I love the campus and the community. Everyone is so nice here and you just feel like you are right at home.
Overall I enjoyed my time at Worcester State University. The professors I had in the science department were very helpful and knowledgable. My biggest issue with the school was the level of preparedness I felt I was not by the time of graduation. I wish there had been more advising and career/ graduate school guidance along the way per semester. Internship, job opportunities and affiliated programs would have been more helpful resources upon school completion. There was a greater push for independent goal pursuit I really felt like I was on my own in trying to navigate resume building and my overall path to career building.
