Question:
Has anyone heard of Rose-Hulman?
I go to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN and it seems whenever I talk to my friends at home no one has ever heard of it. Rose is a great school, in fact it was rated as the number one undergraduate school for engineering for the past 7 years in a row. I really like Rose, it's a great school and a very challenging school; but it just annoys me that no one ever seems to have heard of it. I just wondered how many people here on answers have heard of my school and what your opinions of Rose are. Thanks for your responses.
Thanks a lot Speedy, maybe you should be a little less "speedy" and actually read my question. Most of what you just told me is already in my question.

I've heard of it. I used to recruit engineers out of undergraduate programs. In the engineering world, Rose Hulman has a good rep.
