Purdue is a great school because it has an awesome reputation with future employers. I don't have any worries about finding a job when I get out of school.

I like knowing that an investment in my education will pay off.

Aside from being a major Big 10 school Purdue also has many other things to be proud of. Putting athletics aside Purdue is also known for graduating the first and the last man to walk on the moon, along with excellent aviation and engineering programs and so much more. By just walking onto campus it is quickly clear how much pride Purdue students and staff take in the tradtion of our university. At the end of the day no matter win or lose Purdue students are always proud say "I am a Boiler."

There are endless possibilities. There are so many dining courts, so you can never get bored of eating at the same place. The variety from being such a large school is the best thing to brag to my friends about.
