[quote=Anonymous]As others said, all engineering programs are rigorous (hard). They have to be. People can die when engineers mess up. There are two factors for HM that contribute to the "hard" label in my opinion. First, I would call it the most rigorous of the Claremont colleges, so people are reminding you of that. The other factor is size and surroundings. HM total enrollment is smaller than MIT freshman class so you're competing in a very tight space. Also, you don't have the same off-campus pressure release that you do at other schools. I'm an MIT alum who had friends at Harvard, Wellesley, Tufts and BU. If I needed a break from the MIT vibe, I went into Boston or hung out on someone else's campus for a while. Rose Hulman - I don't know a ton about it but what I do know suggests it's a school that values hands-on learning and collaboration between students and faculty.[/quote]
