You made the right decision to go to Rose-Hulman. I got my M.S. and PhD from Purdue and you would have gotten huge classes, teachers who can’t speak english and professors that are unavailable. You will get a much better classroom experience at Rose-Hulman. I have several friends that teach there - it is an excellent school. The school I am teaching at is trying to model their program after Rose-Hulman.

Yes, some Purdue professors are good teachers, but most spend about 90% of their time doing research. I spent 7 years at Purdue, I should know!

Of course Purdue is no different from many other research universities…once you’ve seen places like Rose-Hulman you’ll know what a great engineering school is supposed to be! Professors who love to teach?! What a concept!
