<p>Does anyone have any information on Rose-Hulman? How is it compared to other schools such as UMich or UIUC? For undergrad because that is only what is at Rose-Hulman (excluding some masters students).</p>
<p>This will help a little: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/748296-rose-hulman.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/748296-rose-hulman.html</a></p>
<p>Flat. But if you’re from Illinois that may not be a problem.</p>
<p>Haha, ya, I’m not going to school for the party and hoppin environment…</p>
<p>For the education, you’d be more than fine. For all the other college experience stuff, you’d have to judge for yourself, but I felt that the school was on the edge of a pretty blah town, and the lack of diversity (and women) made me feel there were other places where you could get the academics AND a more complete, enjoyable experience. RH grads (admittedly a self-selecting group) do seem happy about their time there, though.</p>
<p>Will Rose-Hulman prepare you enough to get into a top grad school? I’m worried more about the education right now.</p>
<p>Yes, you can get into a top grad school from Rose. I know several people who have done it.</p>
<p>It’s more about you than the school. Whether you go to UMich, UIUC, Rose, or Purdue will not determine whether you get in to grad school. They’re all accredited and highly regarded. What matters MUCH more is how hard you work (grades, GRE, etc.), what research you do, and how well you connect with faculty members. The choice between these schools is more about where you feel most comfortable than which one can provide you with a good education and grad school opportunities. They all can.</p>
<p>Now, if you’re comparing one of these choices to some Tier 3 community college, then it’s a different story.</p>
<p>Thanks y2kwizard, I’m planning on visiting all of the schools.</p>
