Purdue University-Main Campus Top Questions

Some exams from specific instructors are rediculous.

It is really cold during the winter.

The location. It is a nice campus and the facilities are good, but the surrounding town is very dead. For cities, Indianapolis is terrible, and Chicago is good but 2 hours away. It would be great if there were more to do around the campus in terms of outdoors activities.

7:30 A.M. classes

They tend to favor certain colleges/departments over others as to where the funding goes. And the recreational fitness building could stand to be larger to accommodate more of its students.

Purdue University actually has a few things that really frustrates me. First off, the administration office does a terrible job in organizing their students into their classes for the semester now. Instead of our advisors scheduling our classes, we must do it on our own. This makes me ask, "why do I even need an advisor?" Secondly, when trying to socialize many of the students here are actually very prejudice. When attending a social party, if your not white you feel left out.

sororities are everywhere, and if you want to quit, you have no support. plus, they are too lax on hazing rules.

Out of state tuition

That we are scheduled classes in buildings on opposite sides of campus and are only given ten minutes to get to the next class.

There are a ton of engineering majors that think liberal arts majors are a joke.

Volume on homework

Some of the other people who attend. It's really not about the school.

I would have to say the only frustrating thing would be the weather in which we have to walk in on our way to class. Other than that I do not have any complaints about the school itself.

Aside from the class sizes, the drinking on campus is horrible. When you are on a campus that is mostly surrounded by farms, people tend to get bored, which leads to excessive drinking. Almost every facet of Purdue social life is revolved around the mass consumption of alcohol. Not a single person can have fun without alcohol. The campus is borderline alcoholic, and if you are a person like me, who doesn't drink, you will spend a lot of time by yourself, and babysitting drunk people.

I am ajournalism major and there is virtually no attention paid to liberal arts.
