The staff members here are great. Very knowledgeable and kind, and have a lot of patience for the constant training and questions of the student staff

Cons

WPI administration does not give IT the budget it needs to hire enough student staff for the desk. The full-time staff is not given any support, and the inter-departmental communication at WPI in general is very lacking
