Purdue University-Main Campus Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Purdue University-Main Campus? Why?

Ben

Although it is a large campus, it doesn't feel like you are in a city. You can't really walk to anything.

Brigid

The worst thing about my school was the teachers for the basic classes that all majors had to take. Many of the TA's were international students with poor English communication skills which made learning difficult.

Kara

The worst thing about my school is by far the cost of tuition. I have lived in Indiana my entire life and had no other financial options but to attend a state school. However, it turns out that the in-state tuition for Indiana is ridiculous. To attend an in-state university is costing me almost 22,000 dollars a year. In today's economy it is almost impossible to afford that amount every single year. The financial burden of attending Purdue's main campus is by far the biggest issue I face as a student today.

The worst thing about my school, with being a freshman, is the hours for the dining halls. There is a limited number of hours we are allowed to eat, and sometimes you have class that interferes with those given times. They also don't provide meals on Sunday nights, which forces you to either buy some expensive food at the local university sponsored market, or buy food from an off-campus restaurant.

The worst thing about Purdue university is when you have a question and you call an office . They always send you to a different office and most of the time they tell you to call the office that you just got off the phone with. You usually spend a good half hour dialing numbers because no one can answer your question.

The school puts a high focus level on research, and the professors tend to be research oriented. Having their focus level on research instead of academics can hurt a person's educational experience. However, most professors can tackle both aspects very well, so I believe this is a great university.

Megan

Academically there isn't really anything. There aren't many things that I dislike about Purdue University's Main Campus. When we're trying to create our schedules it can be very confusing, as I imagine it is at many other universties. However, it's not very easy to get in contact with advisors to help you. That's really one of the only things I dislike.

Ben

Purdue is a great school but like everything else it has flaws and in my opinion the worst thing about Purdue is the fact that other than academics and sports there really isnt a whole lot of things for the under 21 crowd to do. Sure you can hang out with friends, which is alot of fun, but can become boring after a time.

Jane

The worst thing about Purdue is the large number of students in majority of the lectures. I like having a smaller group and one on one time with the professor/ instructor. It helps me to learn better and I understand what is being taught a lot easier. It also makes meeting people in your class easier, which helps with homework and studying.

Cathie

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There is not enough for people with cars to park on campus. There is always a fight for a parking space, and if there is not one then one must park at least three blocks away and walk to the place of residence.
