Campus Visit Notes for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology


Visit Description:

We really like the campus and it seems like a very closed, bubble-like campus. There is nothing to do within walking distance so it seems most activities are campus based. From a parents perspective, not a bad thing.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Stayed at the Drury in off I-70 again. Nice hote.
