None are bad chocies. However, you have some misconceptions about “unknown” Rose-Hulman. It is actually well-known in the engineering industry. As far as “rank” goes, it is really ranked as high as any top ten university that has engineering and a Ph.D program and in USNews is consistently ranked No.1 in engineering for colleges not having a Ph.D. program. Its focus is to teach engineering and thus tenure for profs does not depend on research. There are textbooks created by its profs that are used at many universities. Though a small college, it gets large numbers of recruiters from companies from around the nation annually and has close to a 100% placement rate for graduates seeking employment upon graduation and about 1/3 go on to grad schools and those include such places as MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Berkeley, Illinois, Cornell.
