The Campus

WPI is an urban school with what some have called "a suburban feel." The main campus is not gated, but it is entirely WPI owned. No public roads cross this part of the school. WPI sits on Boynton Hill, which sets it apart from the surrounding neighborhood. Situated only one block away from "the Hill" (as some call it) is a stretch of restaurants and stores on Highland Street. A Subway sandwich shop, Tech Pizza, the Bean Counter (coffee shop), the Sole Proprietor (a fancy seafood restaurant), a consignment shop, Tortilla Sams (a Mexican food restaurant), and the Boynton (a traditional WPI student favorite) are all located there.
