Are the students happy????

If a Rose-Hulman graduate or current student had a chance to start all over as a freshman, would he/she choose Rose again?

If I had the chance to start over, I would absolutely come to Rose again. Rose is really frustrating at times, especially at the beginning of freshman year. When I started my freshman year, I thought I was too "smart" to study. Well, I didn't study and I got a 0% on my first quiz in Physics I. The average was 20% in the class, so I'm thinking most people had the same attitude as I did about the quiz.

Needless to say, you WILL have to study at Rose. I started working hard after that (studying about four hours a day--this seems like nothing compared to sophomore year haha), and I still managed to get an A in the class. You will have to work hard, but Rose is so small that you become good friends with your entire residence hall and even your professors, and most people are actually happy a majority of the time at least haha. A lot of people talk about how hard Rose is because all they do is study, but in reality people would not stay up so late if they would stay off of facebook and focus. I stay off facebook and I usually get about seven hours of sleep.

I would love to know the average GPA of the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. I need to know if it will be difficult to keep the merit aid scholarship.

I'm not totally positive about the average GPA for each class. But I think the overall average GPA is something around 3.1.

Keeping merit aid is the same as keeping good academic standing -- 2.0 GPA or higher. And as stucoman675 said, the average GPA for the campus is > 3.0.

Excellent - 2.0 is not a problem.
