Purdue University-Calumet Campus Top Questions

It is true that Purdue University Calumet is a great school. However, it is not great in size. I feel that the campus could be larger to accommodate more students and implement more activities on campus.

I consider our school's sports to be the worst thing. Our advertising and promoting of intramurals sports does not suffice my expectations. I think there should be more banners, announcements, and people who want to promote intramural sports throughout the campus. Purdue Calumet is too small to have a football team, and hardly anyone attends our sporting events. Not only is our intramural sports poorly advertised but also our main sports such as volleyball and basketball. I think Purdue Calumet should invest in more sporting facilities than just one. Overall, Purdue Calumet needs to make changes with sporting events.

I think the worst thing about Purdue University Calumet are the Academic Counselors. I attended Indiana Unviersity in Bloomington and was absolutely impressed with my counselor. She knew my name each time we spoke and was well rehearsed with where i was in school. My counselor at Purdue Calumet has no idea who i am, what classes I am in or what my goals are. At one point she kept telling me take spanish, ive been enrolled in French. I have had negative experiences with my counselor at purdue calumet.

In the school I am attending, I?d say the worse thing about it is the advisors and the lack of information they give you. Although the advisors are friendly, they are not very helpful. They tell you what classes you need to take and don?t take any more time to discuss your interests and concerns about school. They don?t advise you where to get help from any other offices, such as financial offices, or how to get study help. It seems as if they want to get you in and out of their office way too quickly.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the communication between the financial aid office and the students. I say this not only upon personal experience but also here this quite a bit from my freinds. It is really unfair for students to pay penalties when they receive notices the day before about dues they have to pay. Although the school is doing a better job at communicating with the students I feel there is much work needed and is still the worst thing about my school

The only thing i consider bad about the school I attend is the cost of food. The food in the cafeteria and in the grad and go shops are pretty high. We dont have that much of a variety and most colleges are all you can eat and the one at Purdue Calumet is not. I also hate the fact that the books are so high but that is at every campus I believe.

Everybody is grumpy. Very few people are satisified with the education they are receiving.

I have yet to experience the "worst thing" about my school. I do not beleive many people can claim this fact about their higher learning experience as I can about mine.

the worst thing about our campus is that it is difficult to schedule certain classes because they are usually booked pretty quick because classes that are major specific are not available all the time.
