Purdue is probably best known for its excellent engineering program. The Krannert School of Management and the pre-pharmacy school at Purdue are reputable also. I believe that Purdue has a reputation for being academically outstanding in general. Purdue is also famous for its research and partnerships with major companies. Because Purdue is a Division 1 school for sports, the Boilermakers are also know for their football and basketball (Can you say "Robbie Hummel"?).

It's Engineering, Math, Science programs and being the "cradle of Astronauts" are probably what it is best know for. I chose Purdue, not only because I like the campus and live in Indiana, but because of the Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering program. I was also very impressed with the Co-Op or Professional Practice oportunities available within the Engineering program. I was able to obtain a Co-Op working at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX every other semester gaining real life experience.
