Purdue University-Calumet Campus Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Purdue University-Calumet Campus?

People who are looking for their college experience to be smooth and full of partying should take this school out of their category if thats what they are looking for. You have to work hard, but the instructors and professors do give you the attention you need do to the small class room sizes.

I believe every one should at least try, give your self a chance . Purdue is a pretty good University.

Someone that is not responsible should not attend this school. Students have to be able to be up and ready to go to class everyday, if not they lose points and cause their grades to go down. You have to be very responsible with your homework, going to lectures, and studying for tests. Everything you do you have to do on your own pretty much. The only thing the professors will do is prepare you for tests and homework during lecture. Other than that, you have to be very attentive and take a lot of notes. You have to work!

The people who do not have real passion for education, for example, people who say "I will just go to Purdue Cal just because my parents want me to go to college. It's close and easy. Whatever."

Lyle

any person interested in law, Theology, Culinary arts

Tara

Someone who wants a decent education and doesn't want to get screwed over by academic advisors shouldn't attend this school.

Deanna

A well-organized focused student who is serious about learning.

Carlos

A person that does not like diversity. And some that does not know how to respect others.

Most of the people I know who go to this school still live at home and commute there. So, if you are someone looking to get out of your element and be living away from home and get the total college experience, I'd say go somewhere where you don't commute back and forth everyday. You're not forced to be around the school all the time and for me it lacks the university feel. The classrooms are small like being in high school. It doesn't make you feel like you're a real college student.

I wouldn't recommend this school to any students who are looking for a large campus in a big city. Hammond is a smaller city, and the campus isn't very big, nor does it have a lot of students. The campus has very little dorm space, so I also wouldn't recommend the school to anyone interested in living on campus. It is very difficult to get a room placement. In short, the school isn't meant for anyone looking to get out into a big city and out of their parents house.
