Student Organizations and More!

With more than 90 clubs, teams, and organizations, students can get involved in everything from the Human Powered Vehicle Team to the gardening and drama clubs. The Residence Hall Association and other student-led groups ensure a vibrant, inclusive community.

Athletics & Recreation

The Sports and Recreation Center includes a climbing wall, indoor track, basketball and racquetball courts, a full fitness center, and a swimming pool—creating a dynamic environment for wellness and play.

Campus Traditions

From Rosie the Elephant mascot to the iconic Homecoming bonfire, Rose-Hulman has a century-long history of memorable traditions that build school spirit and lasting friendships.

Greek Life

Twelve national and international fraternities and sororities offer students leadership opportunities, lifelong friendships, and service-focused engagement with the campus and community.

Dining

Bon Appétit Management Company provides made-from-scratch meals with a focus on nutrition, sustainability, and variety. Options are available for all dietary needs, with flexible meal plans and a commitment to quality ingredients.

Residential Life

All first-year students live on campus, and many upperclassmen choose to remain in residence halls for convenience, community, and academic support. Living on campus places students close to essential resources—from classrooms and the library to labs, dining, and recreation.

Peer support is a key benefit of residence life, with nearby classmates and upper-level students offering help and encouragement. Campus housing helps minimize distractions and maximizes focus, leading to better academic outcomes—and a lot of fun along the way.

A new residence hall opening in Fall 2025 will house approximately 160 students and include student lounges, kitchenettes, and study areas on each floor. Additionally, Speed Hall is undergoing a major renovation and is scheduled to reopen in Fall 2026.
