Is WPI politically apathetic?
Submitted by Mike Benedetti on April 15, 2007 - 7:53pm. :: wpi
This year's Princeton Review entry on WPI claims that WPI is politically apathetic, that they scored lowest on the question "How popular are political/activist groups?"
(The link requires registration, but they don't confirm your e-mail, so you can fake it.)
The five most apathetic colleges, according to this question, are:
- Worcester Polytechnic Institute
- Quinnipiac University
- Bradley University
- University of Delaware
- Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey--New Brunswick/Piscataway Campus
One last note: Our survey is qualitative and anecdotal rather than quantitative.(NB: I am not a WPI alum or otherwise affiliated, though I do live in the neighborhood. When I was in college, I remember reading the Princeton Review essay on our school—and snickering.) For more on collegiate activism in Worcester, see Cous-cous.

There's a CousCous meeting tomorrow (Thursday, April 26) at Worcester State. It’s in the Student Center, Room 204 at 6pm. We'll be talking about our plans for next year, the different campaigns we’ve been working on at our individual schools, and hear any updates from Sweatshop Awareness Month. Word on the street is that Grace Ross might show up.
Also, CousCous has a website too: WorcesterUnited.com

Sorry for leaving out the CousCous website--cut and paste trouble :)
I just love that URL, "Worcester United." You guys need team jerseys.
