The Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering is a very unique place. It's tiny; just 300 students total. It's new; the first graduates were in 2006. And it's extremely focused; everyone here is an engineering major. It's also extremely competitive with accepted students having an A average in a challenging high school program and incredibly high test scores. The buildings are new, built this decade and current students pay no tuition! They just have to pay room and board and fees, totalling around $18,000. Everyone is required to live on campus all 4 years.
Unfortunately, Olin is not immune to the current financial crisis so this policy will be changing for future students. Still, it's an interesting choice for students serious about engineering.
