This is the whole point of Olin College. To find creative ways to make engineering meaningful, exciting and fun. AP and IB exams will be encouraged and recognized. Since most Olin students will bring advanced credit, our challenge is to create a program that will interface with each student, regardless of how advanced they are. Probably not, but they will enrich their four years with double majors, extensive research and internships, interesting minors and graduate work.
Every student is guaranteed housing on campus for all four years of the baccalaureate program.
The design for Olin's residence halls is an innovative blend of high-tech and homey. The rooms are doubles, and are wired to maximize connectivity. The rooms themselves will have AC and CATV, and the common areas in each residence hall will have fireplaces. Olin's classroom building will feature 27 major classrooms and labs offering complete access to the Web, computer databases, digital media, and a host of other resources. Each seat will have data and power ports, and two of the classrooms and most of the labs will have complete computer workstations at each seat.
