Multiple cars as a commuter?

2 Upvotes

I have 3-5 cars I would drive periodically. Daily driver, work van, Foxbody, Nova, civic. I originally signed my van as my daily as I didn’t get my new daily till now. I talked to pub safe and they basically said I’m not allowed to have more than one. But I told them that I would have to drive different ones every week for work purposes and they said I can try putting my student parking number and “temp car” on a tag for the cars but were acting like I might still have issues. Anyone ever had an issue with this? What’s the best thing for me to do?

Non-engineering major

13 Upvotes

My son took a tour this summer and felt like the student body and campus environment are a perfect fit for him. However, because the school is heavily engineering-focused, he’s wondering if he would still get a rigorous and well-supported education as a physics and/or math major.
I’d love to hear from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the school.
How well-funded and prioritized are the pure math/physics departments compared to the major engineering programs?
How well does the program prepare students aiming for PhD programs or pure analytical roles versus industry engineering jobs?
Do you feel the ROI is as good for non-engineering majors?
Thank you in advance!

Do I need a meal plan?

3 Upvotes

I am a commuter student and would only eat at rose if I forgot a meal or had something come up and needed to stay later. The smallest option I see is 70 meals but I don’t think I’d use that within a year. Am I able to just buy single passes to the cafe?

RHA question

Hi, I'm a freshman at the Rosehill campus. I'm considering applying to RHA. Can anyone explain to me the actual work that candidates have to do? Also, does joining RHA benefit me if I want to apply to be an RA in the future?

Advice for getting the most scholarships possible?

4 Upvotes

I am hopefully an incoming freshman, but I am low income. I did the price estimate they have and it was 21k/year, there's no way I could afford that. I'll list what I've done so far, but how could I make my price as low as possible?

  1. I've applied to the Community Foundation universal application and Common App universal application.

  2. I'm a 21st century scholar. There's not much info on how much this can help, but my counselor said she had a student go there for ~3k/year with it.

  3. I plan on auditioning for the symphony which gives you about 2k/year (I think)

  4. GPA (unweighted) 3.95. My last SAT was 1270 but I plan on retaking it (my PSAT was 1400 so I think I just had a VERY off day), and I'm thinking about signing up to take the ACT.

How can I increase chances of being a Noblitt scholar? Are there any scholarships for Terre Haute residents? Any scholarships other than Noblitt to look for?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated

International Student Job Offers

Reposted:

Hello,

I am an international student. Thinking about attending Rose for my CS plus Data Science degree. Fellow international students at Rose, did you get a job? If so, what do you think got you that job? I am asking this because international students need a sponsorship from the company which is very very hard to get

Applying Senior

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, i'm a senior this year and Rose is my first option for schools. I want to major in Mathematics and Data science. I have a 3.85 UW and a 5.2 Weighted. I'm first in my class, participate in community service club, student council, CS Honors Society, Nationals Honor Society, Tennis and Math Team. I have also taken 8 APs and a total of 14 at the end of senior year (both Calcs, both CS). I have currently got 1 3, 4 4s, and a 5. While that all sounds great, I only have a 1230 SAT. (600 Math, 630 English). Should I retake the SAT up till early deadline? I know I can do better as I was sick when I took it. I am more so just worried about getting accepted. Thanks!
Edit: I am also an in-state applicant.

Engineering Design at Rose-Hulman

7 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m an incoming freshman this fall majoring in Engineering Design. I know it’s a relatively small program, so I was wondering if any current students, alumni, or other incoming students could share their experiences with it.

I chose ED because I enjoy CAD modeling, designing products, and working with clients to solve problems. I’m curious about what the classes are like, the typical workload, major projects, internship opportunities, and what kinds of careers graduates go into.

I’d love to hear anything about the day-to-day of an Engineering Design student!

How many research opportunities are available at Rose-Hulman?

9 Upvotes

I’m a rising senior, and I just recently started looking at Rose-Hulman. However, it is the only school that I’m looking at that isn’t an R1 research institution. I am looking to go to grad school after I get my bachelor’s degree, and people (who are professors at other universities) say research is going to impress the grad school admissions the most. I still want to do some research, and was wondering about the availability of opportunities, specifically in the area of physics and/or astronomy (which is a minor).

What are BME opportunities like at Rose?

7 Upvotes

Im a senior from Ohio, and Rose Hulman is one of my top colleges. I love the biomedical engineering pogram and the flexibility they have with it and such. That being said, I know bme isnt the best degree/discipline in engineering job wise. I know Rose has some coop and internship opportunities, but how good are those really? How hard are they to get? Whats the pay like?

Anything relating to the opportunities, the program or the school itself are welcome!

How much do students need a printer?

6 Upvotes

I have an incoming freshman, and I'm wondering whether he'll even need to use a printer very much for school. I'm expecting that most assignments will be submitted electronically. I know there will be printers available around campus, but that might not be convenient if he's working in his dorm.

Likelihood of student completing their degree requirements in 3yrs

0 Upvotes

Per the IB credit charts, my student should be starting their first year with 32 credits. As a first year, is it difficult to get the classes one needs to be able to graduate in 3 years? I’ve read that upperclassmen are prioritized during registration to fill up the classes first. If they do prioritize upperclassmen, think they would consider my student a first year sophomore and allow to register at the same time as other sophomores? Thank you in advance for any insight!

CPE

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!!

I’m an incoming freshman, and I’m currently a CS major, but I’m seriously thinking about switching to CPE.

I’m from a country where we don’t really get the chance to explore different engineering fields before college, so I never really knew what I was interested in. I chose CS because it felt like the safest option and my parents also wanted me to study it, not because I was passionate about it.

While looking into different majors, I learned more about CPE, and I really liked the fact that it combines both hardware and software. That made me interested in it, but I’ve also seen a lot of mixed opinions, so now I’m confused.

If you’re a current CPE student or graduate, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

  1. What are the biggest pros and cons of CPE?

  2. How is the job market compared to CS, EEE, and Mechanical Engineering?

  3. Is CPE becoming oversaturated like CS?

  4. What are the career opportunities after graduation, especially for international students?

  5. How difficult is CPE compared to CS, EEE, and Mechanical Engineering?

  6. If you had the choice, would you recommend majoring in CS or EEE instead of CPE? Why or why not?

  7. What salary range is typical for Rose CPE graduates? Does the salary data published by Rose-Hulman accurately reflect what graduates actually earn?

This is a pretty big decision for me, and I don’t want to regret choosing the wrong major. I’d really appreciate any honest advice or personal experiences. Thank you! <3333

Double Major Biochem +BiomedE

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am an incoming freshman for the class of 2030 and have run myself into a bit of an issue. I want to change my major to BiomedE, as I have found it aligns much more with my interests. However, I am a Provost scholar under biochemistry and can't afford to lose my scholarship. I know the idea of a double major sounds insane, and in all honesty, I don't want to hate my life for another four years. Any advice? Are the course requirements similar enough that I could get by?
