The most frustrating thing about Purdue would be as a freshman I did not realize how difficult the curriculum would be at Purdue. I did not realize that if I was struggling in a class that I needed to take the step to get help to ensure that I would succeed. Though this was the most frustrating thing about Purdue to me after my first semester it is the best thing that happened to me. I now know what to expect and it that frustration has made just that much more determined to succeed.

The most frustrating thing about Purdue is that everything is very wide spread. It's a huge campus so getting to know where everything is located was difficult in the beginning. You also have to plan your time wisely in order to make it to class on time because classes could be located and opposite ends of campus.

It's in Indiana.

Construction and roads as well as travel can be difficult sometimes.

Purdue has the second greatest number of racial hatecrimes of universities in the nation. This is but one of the things that is concerning at an university that also has one of the greatest amount of diversity in the US. Why should we have fear and hate based on the way someone looks at an advanced learning facility like Purdue?

I don't live on campus, so I think the commute, even if it's only half an hour.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the cost. The cost continues to go up each year and each year less money is given out. Add to the fact that I am a flight student, my costs double. Overall the price paid for an education is beyond reason.

Not much frustrates me here at Purdue University. I have had a great freshman experience and I've learned a whole lot in the time that I have spent here. One thing that does frustrate me a little bit is the weather that we have experienced here this winter! It has been freezing and we actually missed two days of classes because of the ice. I love all of my fellow students, the food, and my current residence hall. I am also a huge fan of our athletic teams here and I enjoy going to their games.

The people here stress out too much, and they do not seem to actually enjoy college. Everyone here studies for 10+ hours a day, and this is unlike myself. Whenever I try to hang out with my friends here they either suggust we study together, or they just say they can't because they have an exam in three or so weeks. That is the most frustrating thing about Purdue.

The most frustrating thing is that Lafayette isn't a big city... if you want to go to a big city you have to go to either Indianapolis or Chicago, and since freshman can't own cars, that's almost completely out of the question. Another personally frustrating thing about Indiana in general is the weather, but since I came from Hawaii I'm a little, I suppose, "sensitive" when it comes to cold and rain. Many people at the campus are from Indiana and already know each other, but there are also many people who don't know anyone.
