What Students Are Saying

Please visit Olin before applying to see if your personality will fit well with the community. Even though Olin is very open and accepting, the approach for academics and culture may not suit everyone.

Michelle from Towaco, NJ

A VERY GOOD COLLEGE FOR THE HARDWORKING, INTELLIGENT STUDENTS. SMALL CROWD HENCE A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM TEACHERS. SOBER CROWD HENCE LESS ISSUES. LEAST BOTHERED ABOUT DRESSING AND OTHER EXTRA ACTIVITIES. MORE OF PROJECT BASED STUDIES HENCE MORE OPEN FOR CO-OPERATIVE WORLD. PRINCETON REVIEW HAS GIVEN ALMOST 2ND RANK THIS YEAR FOR THIS COLLEGE FOR STUDIES
