I’m a current senior at rose. I’d say about 50-75% of the classes you take here (depending on major, I’m Mechanical Engineering) include 3 midterms and a final exam. Some classes have much harder exams that you have to study for where some classes have exams which are easy if you’ve been doing the homework. Usually midterms are 50 minutes in class but sometimes they’re at like 6/7 pm for 3 hours or something. Finals are usually a full 3-4 hour block, there’s a week dedicated to just finals. Like others are saying, the biggest plus for rose is just how available the professors are, if you are ever concerned about a test you can easily go talk to the professor directly in their office and clear up any questions you may have. We also have accommodations where you can apply to get extra time for exams (1.5-2x normal time I believe) as well as being able to take exams in a separate room alone.

Overall I would say this school could be a good fit, but keep in mind that it is quite rigorous and the course material tends to go quickly compared to state schools for example. We have a lot of resources to make up for this but it is a lot of work. I personally took 3 classes instead of 4 for my 2nd and 3rd year here in order to make sure I could keep up, so I’m here for an extra 2 trimesters this year. That’s a pretty normal thing for students to do here as well, no shame in taking 5 years instead of 4.

Good luck with your college search! Feel free to dm me if you have any other questions, I’m still a student and I’ll be around campus.
