I first learned about Rose-Hulman around two weeks ago because a friend had a daughter studying there. It was not on our radar because we were focusing on US News rankings for “National Research Universities” like UofM, CMU and UIUC. After looking at their curriculum, average class size, focus on teaching and graduate placement (based on the 2020 class they appear to be a feeder school to grad programs at CMU, Purdue and Georgia Tech) we decided to broaden our horizons.

In a sense, Rose is to UofM, CMU, etc. for STEM subjects, what Williams is to Harvard or Yale for humanities - a smaller, less prestigious school that by almost every objective measure provides a better undergraduate education.
