Personally, I don’t think there’s really a question involved here unless you’re hung up on the location of OSU or the price of Rose-Hulman. If you’re absolutely positive that you’ll be an engineer, it doesn’t seem like there’s any place better to receive your education than RHIT. If price, however, is a big concern and Rose hasn’t offered a lot of aid–or if Terre Haute, which is not exactly the best town in the world, is not a place you could fathom living–that’s another thing (however, if you’re basically guaranteed a job after graduation, given Rose’s placement rate, the price might be worth it).

Bottom line, I’d personally say Rose. People who go there seem to love it, and the education seems to back up the USNWR ranking, from what I can understand.
