What kind of person should attend Purdue University-Main Campus?

Abigail

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 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.

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.
