<p>What colleges are Rose's peers?</p>

<p>In princeton review, I found the following colleges as </p>

<p>"Students who considered Rose-Hulman also looked at.."</p>

<p>But they are all big universities (not sure about trine). Non of them of the <2k students that RH has. So what is the scoop on colleges that are comparable and most often 'cross applied'?</p>

<p>Brown University
Carnegie Mellon University
Case Western Reserve University
Clemson University
Cornell University
Georgia Institute of Technology
Harvard College
Illinois Institute of Technology
Indiana University--Bloomington
Kettering University
Northwestern University
Princeton University
Purdue University--West Lafayette
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Rochester Institute of Technology
Stanford University
Trine University
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of Michigan--Ann Arbor
Washington University in St. Louis</p>

<p>You bring up a good point. Rose is pretty unique. There are not many small, private engineering schools where the focus is exclusively on undergraduate education.</p>

<p>That said, a good starting point would be to look at the thread below, “Rose-Hulman 2014- who did you turn down” as that thread contains lots of responses that will give you an idea of the schools that Rose students and applicants are looking at.</p>

<p>You might want to consider University of Rochester.</p>

<p>I culled the colleges from that thread and came up w/
 (only cooper union and olin (both well under 1k students) and the last two colleges, traditional lacs, were colleges of lt 2k students).

<p>That’s a great list, but I would also include Harvey Mudd.</p>

<p>I saw the following at [Rose-Hulman</a> Institute Of Technology](<a href=“http://www.braintrack.com/college/u/rose-hulman-institute-of-technology]Rose-Hulman”>http://www.braintrack.com/college/u/rose-hulman-institute-of-technology) I am not sure what is meant by ‘computer comparisons’.</p>

<p>

<p>None of the other schools my son applied to were as small as Rose. The only type of comparison he could try to make was comparing the computer science college within a university to all of Rose. Not a good way to compare. But he did try to compare class size, special interest housing areas, honors programs—anything that broke a big university into smaller sections.</p>
