Rose is full of like-minded, hard-working students so don't worry about finding friends at our small school! The academic coursework is challenging but VERY REWARDING as long as you apply yourself 110% of the time! Gorgeous scenery, a great rec center, fratenity/sorority life, and many other things to enjoy on-campus make Rose-Hulman a top-notch institution.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Work hard
Manage your time
Be outgoing and meet new people
Do not be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone
And most of all...HAVE FUN!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Very demanding, but very do-able! Always manage your time in order to get things done so that you will have extra time to have fun!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Great people who are willing to hang out and work on homework together. Be outgoing and others will warm-up to you. Doors are always open in the dorms, which builds a strong sense of community and trust on campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is 4 stars during the week but 2 stars on the weekend...be prepared to cook or to go out on the weekends.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
sleep
fishing
biking
running
campus golf
frisbee
build stuff
video games/computer games
SOCIALIZE
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Hard to see it while you are there because the place has an OVERWHELMING pricetag....but when you receive scholarships, land internships, and earn job offers from all your hard work, you see that Rose is worth the upfront effort and cost and effort. 100% of seniors will have secured a solid job before they graduate.

Laking someone on their birthday includes carrying them to Speed Lake and throwing them into the water!

Everyone leaves their doors open all the time
No one messes with your stuff
You never have to worry about people stealing your stuff
High degree of freedom and peace of mind
Everyone trusts others (hopefully not to be exploited anytime soon)
