I talk about how good the engineering program is and that I've gotten a variety of experience by attending this school that I might not have somewhere else. Purdue has helped me to do research, get internships to expand my experience and be involved in the student body through their variety of clubs. I get the experience of being part of a large student body, without loosing out on the personalization that comes with going to a smaller school.

Lindsay

I never run out of things to talk about Purdue. I brag about the traditiions that still live on here that make your experience memorable and lasting. The traditions that you take part in allow you to leave an impact on the school. I also brag about how much there is to do. There is something for everybody. We are so diverse and welcome people of every background. Regardless of our differences, we are able to come together as Boilermakers and make this our home for our time here.

At many colleges, students experience lecture classes where the professor will talk for an hour then class is dismissed. Purdue has iclickers and professors that have students ask questions throughout the lecture. The iclicker helps the professor to know how the students are comprehending the lecture material. When the professors have students ask questions it provides a chance for students to get a better understanding at that moment so they can take in the rest of the information as the lecture progresses.

Purdue is a wonderful experience! There are so many opportunities available to grow as a person. Of course the school itself offers great educations experiences. However, there is so much more!. There are so many clubs, groups, and events to be a part of the social network. I have made more friends in the past 8 months than I ever thought possible! I have joined clubs, attended plays, sporting events, seminars, joined volunteer groups, gotten a job as a volleyball referee, and joined the Equestrian team. The Learning Community I was part of was the best!

Emily

When telling my friends about school I always inform them of the city-like feel Purdue University has to offer. Since it is a large campus--the largest of all of the Purdue branches, there are strangers everywhere you go. This is something that I love. It is as big or as small as you want it to be!

Jim

The school is full of intellectuals so that's always fun.

If you are looking to major in engineering, Purdue University offers th best engineering program in the United States. Purdue is known nationally, as well as internationally for the engineers they produce every year. The College of Engineering has been completely renovated, matching the innovation that our engineers have to offer. Besides engineering, Purdue has the best Management programs in the Midwest. Besides the education, Purdue is one of the friendliest campuses I've ever visited. There's so much school pride here, and if you choice to be a Boilermaker, you’ll be as happy as I am.
