Did my Master's in Materials Science & Engineering...

Did my Master's in Materials Science & Engineering here and research work throughout my degree. One of the best schools for research programs. Most of my tuition was funded and I received a stipend too. It has good infrastructure and the undergrad for Materials Science & Engineering is ranked #3 in the country! It is the perfect environment for students and researchers. It boasts one of the toughest curriculums in the country. The professors are extremely well-qualified and are good research advisors.

The school houses a nuclear reactor, a mini-Stonehenge behind the Materials Science building and a solar city.

The school not only excels research-wise but knows how to have fun too. St Patrick's is huge here and we're given 4-5 days off for it just before the week for Spring break, for which we get another week! There is a parade near campus. Celebration of Nations is another huge event at the start of Fall semester, which brings together various cultures and their food and dance and music - the people that make this school amazing!

The closest city and airport is St Louis (90-110 miles away). Downside is there is no public transport in Rolla.
