Honest to god truth? 90% of profs are amazing 10% are ok. Terre Haute has less to do than an uninhabitited desert island. Honestly it is what you make of it academically. Students that are there tend to think they are of a higher caliber than they are. Most students, being from Indiana, seem to think Rose is globaly known and have never had the pleasure of trying to explain to thier friends that it is a real school. The upsides are the Profs who are almost always availiable, no TAs, above average student body (most of who think they are MIT quality), small classes (Big classes no larger than 30 small classes as small as 3), and great connections with industry (Rose has maintained >95% employment 6months post grad even through the recession).
I can’t really comment too much on the others as I have never attended but can give you links to the college board search for each.
