Purdue University-Main Campus Top Questions

It is close to home.

Purdue is set apart from other colleges and universities because it has all the cache and attraction of a big-name school, but without the expense and distance from home (unless you're not from Indiana, in which case "Welcome!"). It also offers a wide variety of majors and specializations, with teachers and professors that make the school one of the best in the nation when it comes to Veterinary Sciences, Engineering, Early Childhood Education and dozens of others courses of study. Being a Purdue Graduate means something, it opens doors and tells others that you are an achiever.

I discuss my feeling and reasoning on transferring to and from Purdue University. My points are generalized at times and specific to Purdue at others. I am in front of a fishing pond near my apartment and campus.

A short video of me talking about some questions a high school student should ask on any college tour. This is in a lounge area on Purdue University's campus.

It's less wooded and less sprawled out.

Both my parents attened this university and as a result I was accustomed to the school pride and already had a love for the school.

Purdue is a unique school due to the challeneging courses, competiveness, and the overall feel the campus projects when you first step onto it. Everyone and everything is very welcoming and helpful. There are several opportunities for everyone to get involved and become part of something special. Several schools have issues with providing healthy food choices, but not Purdue. Purdue's food is top notch. This school allows you to get a good degree while still being able to have a social life.

The main reason I chose Purdue University at it's main campus in West Lafayette, was the financial aid I received for my freshman and sophomore years. I was a little hesitant about the school because of its size and many of my freshman year courses were large lectures. However, once you settle into your particular school (whether it be engineering, agriculture, liberal arts, etc.) you find that the class sizes will decrease rapidly, at least they did for me.

There is a lot of diversity at my school. It also has a very good art program for my major.

The thing that makes Purdue unique is the fact that they are very diverse. This includes professors, TA's, students, and other faculty. Everywhere I go, I always see someone who looks different from me. It is a beautiful sight.

This school has seen a lot of well known people pass through their doors.

Home town atmosphere....

Purdue is so diverse. Everyone claims that it's very conservative, but really there are so many views and so many different kinds of people around campus. It's like an entirely different world, apart from everything else.

Great Big ten atmosphere. There is lots of school spirit. It can get very warm in the fall and spring, and verey cold during the winter.

It is very diverse. Very powerful school when you graduate, diploma means a lot. Many famous people come by. Sports are a blast to go to. If you are twenty-one, breakfast club and grand prix week are a blast. Most fun I have ever had and I have visited my friends schools, they want to come here with me now.

I would have to say that the people are very amiable, but a little prejudice. I also think it is one of the most diverse schools in the U.S. And everyone knows that Purdue is an engineering school, and one of our alumni's actually went to the moon! Armstrong. I would also say that, it's very strange how a myriad of great people came from this school, although it's an University in the middle of cornfields of Indiana.

Purdue had a plethera of top rated, amazing engineering and technology programs

If you are looking for a college that makes you feel like you are "at home"...Purdue is right for you If you are looking for a college that i will challenge you....Purdue is right for you If you are looking for a college where professors are readily available and you are not just seen as a number...Purdue is right for you Its happening here.....

You have to visit Purdue's campus before making any final decisions. Once you come to the campus and see everything for yourself, it's very likely that you'll get excited to come in the fall. BOILER UP!
