\"\"DETAILS:  <\/span>Co-ed since 1995, Rose-Hulman offers that rare combination of technical education and personal attention. The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology may not be as well known as Caltech, MIT, or even Carnegie Mellon, but it was the first private college to offer an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering, and it continues to innovate today. If you can handle the lopsided male\/female ratio (75 male\/25 female) and the limited list of majors (all engineering and the sciences, with the exception of an economics major), Rose-Hulman offers an outstanding technical background and bright prospects for future employment. Students are smart, motivated, and highly competitive, and love using their computers for work and play. “We are all dorks,” says a senior.  “Some of us just hide it better than others.”<\/span><\/p>\n

General education requirements at Rose-Hulman include math, physics, chemistry, and humanities and social sciences. Humanities professors \u201care very eager to educate and expose science and engineering-oriented people to a different way of thinking,\u201d an applied biology major says. In the first quarter, freshmen must take a College and Life Skills course that covers such topics as time management and study skills. Students in every program except mathematics must work in a team and complete a project for an outside company. <\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes time to to start the job search, Rose-Hulman students are in good hands. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCareer services works with every student individually to assist them in finding the right job for them,\u201d cheers a senior. <\/span><\/p>\n

A chemical engineering major says Rose-Hulman students \u201care always tinkering, and their hands can\u2019t move as fast as their minds do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudents are conservative but don\u2019t really get involved politically,\u201d one senior explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixty percent of students live on campus. Freshman are guaranteed rooms to the residence halls, which boast weekly maid service as are any sophomores who want them.  \u201cWe\u2019re allowed to do almost anything to the rooms, like add lofts or decks to gain space,\u201d says a civil engineering major. (At an engineering school, would you expect anything less?) Two living\/learning communities are available:  the HERE (Home for Environmentally Responsible Engineering) program for freshmen, which focuses on sustainability topics and design projects, and ESCALATE, for aspiring entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Varsity teams (the Engineers) play in Division III, and recent conference champions include men\u2019s soccer, track and field, and swimming; women\u2019s basketball; and men\u2019s and women\u2019s tennis.  Competitive tech teams like the Human Powered Vehicle Team, Team Rose Motorsports, and Cyber Defense Team are strong. Just over half of the student body participate in 32 intramural sports, with flag football, basketball, and ultimate Frisbee the most popular.<\/span><\/p>\n
