Facilities and Resources
"Olin has a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio, which makes it easy to form close relationships with faculty mentors. There also is a great deal of room for autonomy - the program is very flexible and well suited for students who are independent-minded and strong self-starters. It's very easy to personalize the program and to include work across departments and in other fields."
