Purdue University-Main Campus Top Questions

N/A

Not at all... There are always activities scheduled by the university, athletic events to attend, many local bars and pubs, and it's in close proximity to Indy and Chicago. Purdue is a big place, with lots of students, but schools keep you in a smaller group and you get to know others in your major.

The second one is true, almost anyone can get in, but there is a huge drop out rate after the first year.

The truth is, most people aren't farmers. We do have a great agricultural program which brings the farmer type to Purdue but if you're looking for a stereotype you've got it wrong... all the americans are outnumbered by foreigners. People are shocked at how large our non-citizen community is. If you aren't comfortable with foreigners, don't come here.

Not at all

yes!

Not the few I've seen.

The second stereotype is a half-truth: Purdue students definitely care about their studies. However, we all like to have fun too. I think that is why we like to go out at 8 or 9 pm, and then come home by 1 a.m....because we go to class the next day. I know many people who go out during the school week, and I would argue that the bars are way more fun on weeknights than on the weekend.

No! The party scene is great, and the student body is quite diverse, though there are a lot more males here than females.

si, no maybe???
