Rating 3 out of 5

Honestly was really a great school for the most part back before COVID when all classes were in person. Since COVID has struck and classes gone online they have very quickly gone downhill and handing the situation very poorly for learning quality.

The ROI at UWP is pretty good but as you hear so many times you get what you pay for. The school is growing fast but they have a LOT of growing pains. Communications between departments and even within same departments is horrible. New teacher acting as councilor has steered our kid wrong may times. Adding undue stress to all our lives. If you have choice, DO NOT GO HERE.

Great value and a lot of fun. Got a great job out of it with little debt and hard to beat that.

If you want a cheap school, and can put up with the crap that comes along with it, its a good value, especially for engineering. You get what you pay for.
