Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Top Questions

The best things about this school is the people. Because Rose-Hulman is solely a math and science school, everyone is going through the same difficult classes and are there to support each other. The people are so friendly and helpful, and also know how to have fun. The people here are proud of how hard they work, and there is a general respect throughout the community because everyone has gone through the difficult classes together.

Rose-Hulman is a very overrated school. Was my education top notch? Yes it was. Do any companies outside of Indiana know Rose-Hulman exists? Nope. If you intend on living in central Indiana your entire life, are not "social", and have extremely wealthy parents, Rose-Hulman is the perfect choice for you. If you want to enjoy college, have future employers recognize the name of your alma mater, and wish to live somewhere other than central Indiana; go to Purdue, Georgia Tech, or MIT.

The best thing about Rose-Hulman is the community. The campus is so safe and everybody knows everybody. Everything is based on the honor system and you have a lot of freedom.

The size of the school is one of its best attributes. Profs will know your name, greet you in the hall, and always be available for homework help. Rose does a great job of taking care of its students, whether it be through support offices or extensive extracurricular programs (most of which receive funding from the school). The town is a bit small, but if you're persistent you can find some pretty cool stuff to do.

Rose-Hulman is a family. No two students are the same, but we are similar and we care about each other. The students and faculty work together to make it the best environment there can be.

Rose is just the right size for me. It has a small-town atmosphere with culture thrown in. We have many different types of performances on campus that bring actors/actresses and musicians from around the world.
