Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering

Beautiful, but Lacking

The campus is gorgeous, and is well equipped with a whole host of engineering equipment. The only problem is that we're tiny. You can easily get to basic cardio/weights, but for any athletic facilities like a pool or basketball courts it's a bit of a hike to one of our partner colleges, Babson.

Half-Tuition, What's Not to Love?

Every Olin student gets half of tuition just for making it through the selection process. On top of that there's need-based financial aid. Going to the financial aid office is super easy (and if you go more than once, they'll know you by name...and ask how your summer's been.)

Unnervingly Safe

People don't even lock their doors. Also, the campus police don't come into the dorms unless there's an emergency and they get called. Even if they do, they usually will look the other way unless you're the direct cause of the emergency situation. The students do a fantastic job of looking after one another.
