Olin College of Engineering

What are the popular events and traditions at Olin College of Engineering?

Olin's recurring events emphasize student work and connections with prospective students and employers. Expo gives students a setting to present projects and other work; Candidates' Weekend is part of the experience for invited admission candidates; and a fall career fair brings career exploration and recruiting into the academic year.

These events serve different audiences. Expo is an opportunity to see what students have made and to explain design decisions, while Candidates' Weekend helps selected applicants and the college assess fit. A career fair is a recruiting event, not evidence that every attendee receives an offer. Dates, presentation formats and participation rules can vary by year.

What are the student housing and dining options at Olin College of Engineering?

Olin provides college-operated, coeducational undergraduate housing, and reported residential figures indicate that nearly all students live on campus. Housing is therefore a central part of the Olin experience, though availability should not be treated as a guarantee of a particular room or arrangement.

Students should review the current housing process for residence options, room assignments, accessibility accommodations and move-in dates. Campus dining and meal-plan arrangements are another practical part of a residential budget; students with dietary needs should check current options directly rather than assume every meal plan provides the same flexibility. The reported annual room-and-board charge appears in the cost discussion above, but an individual charge can depend on the applicable year and housing or dining arrangement.
