It is close to home.

Purdue is set apart from other colleges and universities because it has all the cache and attraction of a big-name school, but without the expense and distance from home (unless you're not from Indiana, in which case "Welcome!"). It also offers a wide variety of majors and specializations, with teachers and professors that make the school one of the best in the nation when it comes to Veterinary Sciences, Engineering, Early Childhood Education and dozens of others courses of study. Being a Purdue Graduate means something, it opens doors and tells others that you are an achiever.

The main reason I chose Purdue University at it's main campus in West Lafayette, was the financial aid I received for my freshman and sophomore years. I was a little hesitant about the school because of its size and many of my freshman year courses were large lectures. However, once you settle into your particular school (whether it be engineering, agriculture, liberal arts, etc.) you find that the class sizes will decrease rapidly, at least they did for me.

There is a lot of diversity at my school. It also has a very good art program for my major.

The thing that makes Purdue unique is the fact that they are very diverse. This includes professors, TA's, students, and other faculty. Everywhere I go, I always see someone who looks different from me. It is a beautiful sight.
