Purdue's health center does carry Plan B, offer women's services, free condoms, Pap smears (not free, kinda expensive), and birth control prescriptions.
There is a planned parenthood in Lafayette.
We have bus routes.

I can't think of anything else.

Purdue students are OBSESSED with facebook, and uploading and tagging pictures is how we procrastinate. I've noticed that Purdue students are fantastic at procrastinating. Honestly, if it were a major at least half of the Liberal Arts students would switch instantly. I've also noticed that it's easiest to make friends your freshman year through BGR, the week before school starts for freshmen to tour campus, meet people, and learn our traditions, and in the dorms, and once you turn 21 and join the nightlife scene; in between you've got to try hard in classes to widen your social circle because people settle in pretty quickly to their groups. In classes everyone sits in the same seat every day, although there is almost never a seating chart. Force of habit, I guess. It's pretty quiet for the first couple days but once you turn to the people next to you and strike up a conversation it's really easy to become in-class friends at the very least.
Worst thing about Purdue:
There is a severe lack of parking on campus and people here cannot drive in the snow. Maybe it's because I'm from northern Indiana and I'm used to the lake effect deluges, but everyone slides around like buffoons and freaks out at the slightest sight of snowflakes. Also, there is an infrequent but pretty terrible sewage smell on campus.

Breakfast Club is amazing. Grand Prix is the most fun week of your college life. Study hard and get good grades becuase it pays off in the end. Make the best memories you can within 4 years. The friends you meet in college are the BEST friends you will have throughout your adult life. Be open-minded and be willing to try everything once. Be motivated. Party. Respect your fellow Purdue family. BOILER UP!

Although Purdue is a very conservative, midwestern, engineering school, it hosts several performing arts events including its annual week-long jazz festival and has even had the Dalai Llama come speak. Purdue is an amazing place and I highly recommend it.

To sum it up, everyone will find there place within Purdue's diverse student body, superior academics, and unruly traditions.

Purdue is great. If you are going into engineering, expect a lot of work. It will be worth it though, as you are almost guaranteed a job after you graduate. The people are really friendly. It's a great social atmosphere.
Bring warm clothes!!! It gets extremely cold. Be prepared.
