“Rose is a home away from home for everyone who attends. It is a small school, and we are all one huge family. …”
“A small and expensive school, but the personal attention from fascinating professors, great support from motivated students, and excellent career services and job placement make it all worth it.…”
“Rose-Hulman is a thriving environment both creatively and academically. It provides a supportive environment that allows for students to explore and question. It also allows students to grow and be…”
“Rose-Hulman may seem like that unlikely option based purely on the cost, but you'll be surprised. The quality of education here is wonderful, but be prepared to be challenged. Visit…”
“Good but lots of nerds and has few girls so if there is a party girls have no problem getting in. …”
This institute has a truly unique environment in which learning has the utmost importance but is also healthily balanced by the several IM sports and clubs to join. There is always somewhere on campus where you can get free food (which is important for us poor college kids) and join in fun activities.

However one of the best things about Rose is the feeling of community. Everyone is so nice and helpful. We even have what we call 'open door' policy which basically means everyone leaves their dorm doors open. This isn't required but it helps build the sense of community and since we have such a small, close-knit community things are rarely stolen.

It's only about 2,000 students for an undergraduate education - but if a close-knit community with emphasis on teaching and creating a network of support and understanding is something you want in a college (as I do), Rose is definitely for you. The Rose staff are always friendly and are never curt. They always want to help and are there for you - this includes faculty, staff and other students (especially in the residence halls). You are surronded by people who enjoy the same types of things you do.

The campus is not as big as I expected, but I like them that way (for people that want a big-college experience, this might not be the place for you). No matter how empty the college or the city looks like, I bet that with a little participation in the many school clubs, along with various internships, co-ops, and study-abroad trips, Rose-Hulman can be just as much fun as any other school
