Very white, very male, very conservative, and very boring. "Work hard, play hard" doesn't really apply to Rose students. It is more of a "work hard, and occasionally get a little rascally and pretend we are partying when we are really just drinking away our sorrow of choosing such a boring school/town"

I have only visited the campus a few times, but I found all the students to be very friendly, dedicated to their studies, fun-loving, and helpful.

My classmates are hard working and very engaging in class. Lots of questions are asked during lectures and if the students do not understand a topic they will go to their proffessors office durring office hours and ask for individual help.
Anthony
My classmates are hardworking individuals who strive for success everyday.
Jake
My classmates are very intelligent, especially when it comes to computers and technology.

Intelligent individuals who enjoy learning, puzzles, and being nerdy.

For the most part, it seems like students here come from wealthier families (no surprise because tuition is very expensive) so I sometimes feel out of place, but they're all pretty nice for the most part.

The student body isn't as diverse as big schools, but there are opportunities for everyone in terms of religion, race, and hobbies. I haven't witnessed any discrimination at Rose-Hulman. Everyone seems to get along fine and I'm friends with people from so many different backgrounds.

We aren't the most diverse student body, but its been improving greatly since my Freshman year. I always say that if you were to randomly pick a student from Rose you'd get a white male from Indiana majoring in Mechanical Engineering. This is mostly true, but the admissions office has been doing some great international recruiting lately. Another downside to being an engineering school is a skew towards a male dominated student body. We're somewhere in the 80/20 guys to girls range, but that's improving too. Since the school is small, around 1600 undergrads, you'll recognize people all over campus and it isn't uncommon to know people from different classes or majors.

Rose-Hulman is majority white students, but we do have a lot of diversity. We have NSBE and Engineers Without Borders, as well as SWE to try and make a more diverse environment on campus.
