    In three sentences

    olin is for engineers who want to change the world.

    Tips for prospective students

    they really like first tech challenge and first robotics challenge students.

    Academic Rigor

    very high and different from standard college practice of lecture and exam. there are many projects and high student involvement.

    Dorm Life

    very small campus. students share close interests, so become friends quickly. two people to a room.

    Food and Dining

    i haven't attended this school yet, but the cafeteria is very nice looking and there is a meal plan that lets you eat at either olin or babson (limited number of times on the babson campus).

    What to do for fun

    ultimate frisbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Bang for the buck

    really expensive, but gives you $20,000 right off the bat. teachers seem enthusiastic, but i haven't attended this school yet, so i can't give an idea of how well this school operates.

    Great for these types of students

    engineers.
    mathematicians.
    problem-solvers.

    Clubs and Activities

    small college, so doesn't have many clubs. has access to babson facilities though, so the fields and rinks there can be used. encourages volunteering.

    Greek Life

    nonexistent.

    Campus Safety

    this college is very removed from its surroundings. barely need to go outside in order to go around the campus.

    Will learn a lot

    I am so excited to be attending Olin in the fall. The curriculum is so different and allows for people with different learning styles to learn. I know that I am going to learn a lot.

    Will enjoy being here

    When I went to visit, the people were so nice. The people and environment were completely different from what you would expect from an engineering school.
