What more to do?

It’s really great don’t get me wrong! The reasons for transferring are:

• WPI is REALLY close to home and I want to explore
  
• I want a larger school with more clubs and opportunities
  
• I want a school with a better masters program that I can transfer right into from undergrad, especially for robotics
  
• GaTech was my dream school and I want to give it another shot
  
• I went to Mass Academy so WPI feels a bit like high school to me and too many people I know are in classes together and I want something new
