My son was accepted by Rose for MechE, and we were hoping he would go there. Unfortunately, he could not get over their location five miles outside Terre Haute. We were greatly impressed by RHIT for several reasons. First, the school is totally focused on teaching undergraduates. Class sizes are capped at 30 students and teachers self-select for teaching instead of research. Our son went to Rose’s summer Catapult STEM program and the professors there were terrific. Second, it is ranked No 1 for almost every engineering major for schools that do not confer PhDs. Third, we compared Rose’s salary and grad admissions outcomes to UofM (we are in MI), and they are comparable.

If you are fine with the school’s size and location I would highly recommend Rose Hulman.
