Purdue is a very big and diverse school and that can seem daunting at first glance. I am a naturally shy and introverted person, but I really found a place at Purdue and branched out. There are so many students to align with because of its diversity. Purdue helped me open up my eyes to what else is out there outside of what I was used to being around in my small town in central Indiana. I would've flourished in a small school, but I did amazing at a big campus, too. Purdue is home. Boiler Up!

The type of person who can work well under pressure. Here at purdue it can be overwhelming with the size of lectures and the speed of the lessons. This person must also be interactive and hands on, because we interact with companies often.

Purdue University is an amazing school, it is filled with people who are strong-willed, determined, and persistant. Someone who wants to be successful at Purdue must prove to themselves and anyone else that they are willing to work hard and strive to be the best they can be. The person who should attend this campus should be confident and willing to step out of their comfort zone to be apart of bigger and better things. Purdue is such a diverse campus it is hard not to get involved with all the clubs and people around you.

Purdue is for very driven, goal -oriented people. The classes are difficult and will not be easy to pass. If the student wants a challenge it will be perfect. They should be able to thrive in social situations yet not be taken by them. They need to have good time management skills and be able to choose what is more important to their future.

The people that should attend this school are the ones who are proactive, involved, passionate about a cause or hobby, and open minded. Because of the diversity here, people should be comfortable or be open minded to a mix of many different cultures and beliefs. Those who enjoy every season of the year would love it here because Purdue's weather really has distinct seasons. People who don't mind walking everywhere are also welcome here, as it is a large campus.
Kendria
A students who is willing to put in the extra time and effort to succeed academicly. This type of student would need to be self-motivated and determined.
Hannah
I think a person seeking adventure and opportunities should definitely attend this school! There are so many different activities to get involved in here and it's really a great way to meet people!
Joanna
Engineers, definitely, because the school has a really strong program for that. But honestly, anyone can come here. Purdue has a very diverse student body, ranging from international students (from pretty much every country you can imagine) to out-of-state students to locals who have lived here their entire lives. Every type of personality fits here, too. It's kind of a free-for-all, but I like it that way.
Amanda
Any person should attend Purdue University. This college is the number one college in diversity in the nation, thus creating an environment any student can feel comfortable in. The campus is large, but is set up so it is easy to navigate. There are infinite clubs and activities to participate in, so students will easily create a "home away from home" at the college.
Elaine
A dedicated person who is really willing to work and put the time into learning should attend this school. Tuition is too high to not take school seriously and waste your money. Internships, graduate schools, and prospective jobs really look at GPA and experiences to see if you'd be a good fit. This school has a lot of classes that rely on independent learning outside of class, so you have to be willing to try to teach yourself or go in to ask questions if you want to do well in the class.
Brianna
Those who attend Purdue University must be determined and goal-oriented. One should be confident, courageous, and excited to pursue his or her future through learning, experimenting, and persevering. Therefore, Purdue students should be adventurous, willing to step out of the comfort zone to make life-long friendships and to grasp life-changing oppurtunites. Purdue students are chanllenged, they are tormented with exams and projects. Purdue students run on Starbucks coffee and five hours of sleep. But through battling the elements while walking to class and struggling to cram at the last second, Purdue students are Boilermakers, built to last.
Hannah
It's hard to cram such a diverse campus into 100 words. Its good to be open minded because you will incounter people unlike yourself. Purdue is a hidden gem with lots to do and fun to be had, but when it comes time to study we get it done.
theresa
Someone who wants to challenge themselves academically and who is wanting to expand their education to help achieve their future goals. Also, Purdue is huge on greek life which allows people to make great connections, which not only benefit them while at school, but for the future.
Melissa
I feel like everyone should attend Purdue University. Although it is fairly large; students from small towns with graduation classes of 25 to big city schools with graduating classes of 1,000 or more all attend Purdue and feel at home. A word to describe Purdue is diverse, which is why saying everyone should attend Purdue is not overshooting the kind of person who attends Purdue. Male, female, big, small, city, country, rural, urban, suburban, low class, middle class, upper class, only child, oldest, youngest... each is the kind of person you would see walking down the street at Purdue.
Melinda
I believe that a person who is genuinely interested in bettering their life and succeeding academically should attend Purdue University. I am thrilled with my choice, and the experiences I have gained. I never have to find the motivation to get to class, I just go. I love my professors and love the variety of classes available for everyone to take. Sure it sounds cliche, but Purdue has made learning fun for me.
Margaret
Someone who should attend thi school is someone who is dedicated to school, knows what they want and is willing to work hard to go after it. If you want to become and engineer, a scientist, do something with agriculture, business, or pretty much anything should attend but must know that you have to wok really hard to be here. It's tough getting in but completely worth it.
Heather
Someone who is willing to work hard and is striving for excellence in all they do. Someone who understands the value of academics, and enjoys Big Ten sports.
Isaac
A student that attends Purdue should be ready for one of the most exciting experiences. The school itself is tough and rigid academic school so one must be ready to work when they attend this university. We have plenty of different types of studies here at Purdue and each one is just as prestigous as the next. However, this is a University so the classes are tough and require work but you are working along side students who are interested in the same material you are so you are never alone.
Radmila
An individual who is open to new experiences. Someone who loves to meet new people and step out of their comfort zone. The individual should also be hard working and focused in order to succeed in this school. Purdue is a lovely place and has many opportunities to get a good education which will in turn be recognized by others. Students need to realize that along with a social life education comes first.
Jessica
At Purdue Univeristy, anyone can be successful. The most successful people have characteristics that include: an outgoing personality and a compassion for school. If an out-going student attends Purdue, they will have no problem fitting in. That person will be able to find a good group of friends and enjoy hanging out with them when he isn't focusing on school. The person also must be compassionate about school to keep up on the work-load and receive good grades. If the student already understands studying is essential, his grades will be outstanding.
