Love Rose-Hulman! If you're looking for a party school, this certainly isn't it. If you want somewhere you can get a great education from professors that care, then look no further. One of my math professors took the time to build our graphs in Minecraft so that we'd have a visual representation of what we were studying. He was so passionate about teaching that he went home at night and worked on that. All of the professors at Rose are very dedicated to helping students learn in and out of the classroom. Even with everything that's going on due to COVID, Rose is taking individual needs into consideration and is creating a much better environment that most the schools my friends go to. It's a great place to learn and a fun place to be in general. If you're going to attend Rose, definitely recommend living on campus. The on-campus atmosphere is like no other and you'll make more lifetime friends than you even thought possible.
As a whole, Rose-Hulman is a fantastic school. All classes are taught by professors with a maximum of 27-ish students. Lectures are well laid out. Everything here is taught so formally, which is why I have understood every single concept in my five weeks here so far. Many professors derive formulas from first principles to demonstrate why exactly you use a given method to solve a problem. The attention to detail is something that should appeal to every aspiring engineer’s mind.
When you arrive, you will have an automatic group of friends consisting of about 40 people who live on your floor and your teammates if you get recruited. By the end of the week-long orientation, I had already felt like I was at Rose for a few months. It truly is a close-knit community. Everyone is willing to help, and everyone is humble enough to ask for help. (Trust me, to succeed at Rose, you will have to ask for help.) The workload is pretty heavy but that makes the school year go by very quickly.

Rose-Hulman has an amazing community of students and faculty members and feels like home. It's one of the biggest reasons I chose to attend college there. The professors there want you to succeed and always make themselves available for you. Whether that be if you're stuck on their classwork or have an idea that you would like to pursue. All the students support each other and don't tear each other down. We keep each other on track and make sure we're doing our best all the time. It's helpful to have the support of the entire campus, especially at such an academically demanding school. I'm trying to think of something that I would change about Rose, but in all honesty I can't think of anything. Their students are their top priority and when I think about it they do everything in their power to always allow me to do my best at everything. I have absolutely loved my time there and cannot wait to experience the years I have left before graduating.
