What Rebekah says makes Rose-Hulman such a great place:
Rose is an exceptional place. It pushes you to be your best, and embraces you the whole time you're striving to attain your goal. I like that everything is challenging and that the faculty and staff embrace you as family. I compare the Rose experience and the Rose community to that of running a long race but having a buddy there with you the whole way to make the tough times more enjoyable.
 

 
Why did you decide to come to Rose?
My story is a little bit different than most other people. Originally I did not think Rose-Hulman was the college for me; I thought it would not be a good fit. But through counsel from older adults like my parents and pastor, and a lot of prayer, I knew that Rose-Hulman was where I was supposed to go. And now being on the other side, I'm so glad I didn't go with my gut instinct, because there are so many wonderful things about the Rose-Hulman community that you can't fully appreciate until you are a part of it. I'm glad that I chose to share these four years of my life with Rose because it has been a wonderful exchange and I have grown so much through my experiences here.

What's it like being a student at Rose-Hulman?
Becoming an engineer is not just about the book learning it takes to get a degree, but more about the mindset behind engineering. Rose is a breeding ground for this mindset, the one that says, "No matter what the obstacle, or how long and hard that obstacle may be, I will keep perseverving until I have found a way to conquer it."
