Olin is a VERY small engineering school. They are very project-oriented and have a different approach to engineering education, and are getting good results. With only approximately 350 students, there's no way people aren't going to know you.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit campus to see if it is for you. Campus consists of exactly five buildings.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Highly collaborative, project-based learning environment. Failure is inevitable, but you're judged on your process and not the outcome. Classes can be taken at Babson (next door) and Wellesley (a couple miles away).
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Very nice dorms, as everything is new. Rooms are big.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
If you can get in, Olin gives a half-tuition scholarship to every enrolled student.
