Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Top Questions

Make sure the school you decide on is perfect in every way. Take lots of visits at different times of the year so you can get a true feeling about what campus really is like. As for making the most of college: get involved, study/work hard, make lots of friends, and have fun!

Think about what you want and challenge yourself. Don't let parents or counselors tell you what to do. Make that decision yourself. Use them as resources, not decision makers.

Anything that inspires passion is worth working for, is worth failing for, is worth risking everything for. It's worth your time, your money, and maybe even a place in your soul. Because in the end, the road we travel defines us, and our journey starts with our education. If you never failed, you never really tried.

Visit all the colleges you are looking at attending. I would try to do an overnight visit, either through the school or a friend, before paying the deposit . Make sure it is not a "suitcase school".

Talk to people who are affiliated with the college. Ask teachers questions that pertain to your learning styles if you visit the campus. Meet current students and young alumni. See if they are the kind of people you'd want to hang around with.
