Featured User Review

World-class education and life prep! There is no doubt that this school is the best undergraduate engineering (and science) school in the country. During my time there I received not only an education, but the experience I needed to thrive in my professional and personal life. The professors are 100% there to make sure every student is prepared for whatever is thrown at them. One constant aspect of my career has been that the expectations for a Rose-Hulman graduate is are sky-high. Bosses have seen so many great hires come in and get things done that just seeing the school name seems to seal the deal.

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

See what students say:

Students commend the school’s flexibility when it comes to switching or doubling STEM majors and applaud the support systems: “They have tutors who are in the basement study rooms of the biggest sophomore dorm every night until about 2 a.m.!” Students also enjoy that “career services” at Rose are “a powerhouse.” The overall sense is that “students have a chance to participate in anything that they are interested in” and “the sheer amount of extracurriculars and elective classes in anything from neuroprosthetics to building race cars” backs that up.

Student Body

The sense of “closeness and trustworthiness” at Rose comes from everyone’s passion for STEM: “Since we only have STEM majors, you always have something in common.” Students are “highly focused, taking challenging courses,” and “driven to make a mark in [their] industry.” Within those shared areas, Rose students also celebrate their differences. “I would describe my peers as very unique as most people I meet come from different places and backgrounds,” explains one junior. The school’s collaborative spirit helps students to observe: “that people are conversational and love to bring others into study groups.” Many students point out the gender imbalance at Rose, as the student population is roughly 75% male and 25% female. However, many women find community through organizations such as the Society of Women Engineers, the Association of Women in Mathematics, Women of Like Fields Passionate About Computing, sororities, and women’s sports. Overall, this “dynamic and bustling community,” makes for “a warm and welcoming home, and while some may underestimate our small size, there’s always something new and exciting going on.”

Campus Life

Attendees note that they felt “immediately welcomed into the community,” which might have something to do with the structure of its collaboratively minded residential halls (and the assistants and advisors there to provide support): “Every night my floor will be doing something together…and I can count on our open door policy to collaborate on some homework or have a new conversation at nearly any time of day.”
