Rose Hulman reviews and comments

<p>Any comments from people who went there? RHIT sounds awesome for Engineering but expensive. I would love to hear some Pros and Cons.</p>

<p>What's the 4 year graduation rate?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>4 year graduation rate has fluctuated between 69 and 74% in the eight years I have been here.</p>

<p>School sounds great, just have to figure how to pay for it. Thats the hard part.</p>

<p>I live in IN, but I’m not attending Rose. It has a pretty good reputation around here, but nothing exceptional. For example, my friend (valedictorian) year went to the Naval Academy last year, while the salutatorian went to Purdue Engineering. The only individual I know of who attended Rose was a lazy guy with a weak par SAT. ( I’m sure he was on the short end of the applicant pool.) So, it’s not going to be a factory of geniuses, and it might not be worth the cost:</p>

<p>Pros:
Focus on undergraduate engineering is unmatched
High name among graduate schools, even in the top law schools
Networking is pretty good</p>

<p>Cons:
Average campus in terms of looks (my opinion)
High cost (I know that’s your issue)
You won’t be able to feed directly into graduate engineering programs (like some students at Purdue and other schools are able to)</p>

<p>My opinion:</p>

<p>Find a school with a good engineering program, but Rose is going to cost you far too much. Rose attendees from my high school are sporadic, (Only 1 at maximum will attend a Service Academy/Top 10 LAC/Top University.) but any college is whatever you make of it.</p>

<p>Go to a cheaper school, it is less risk if you can’t integrate will college well. If you’re good at what you do, you’ll succeed no matter where you go.</p>

<p>Rose is all they say it is after a visit there. But cost is also what they say it is. Looks like their high price takes it off our list.</p>

<p>i recently looked up rose, and found that its 50k. But don’t they give grants to limit the cost?</p>
