I feel like Purdue has more of a national name than Rose does. Rose will be recognized as good, strong engineering program, but I feel like Purdue is more actively recruited due to the sheer number of students coupled with the reputation. But I think the main differences fall under the intangibles. Like Purdue is a big ten school with a huge, diverse population. There are a lot of people here, and if the huge lectures your first year or two bother you, then Rose would be the way to go. I know I was not interested in Rose because I was wanted a diverse student population. I also was not 100% sure if engineering was for me, and I wanted options outside of STEM if I decided to change my mind.

I hope this helped.
