Purdue University-Main Campus Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Purdue University-Main Campus? Why?

Daniel

The off campus parking becomes easily crowded.

Joanna

Construction! Purdue constantly has some sort of construction project going on, whether it's the new REC center, road repair, sidewalk widening, or a new building going up. They block the roads off and it makes it really dangerous for both pedestrians and drivers.

The gigantic size, and poor class scheduling. My batchmates and I would speedwalk from the BME building to Armstrong three times a week, for 2 or 3 semesters. We had fifteen minutes to do it, and were invariably late to class, or had to leave one early. We missed announcements and homework submissions and the trek can get tiring in the snow!

The least likable thing about Purdue are the living quarters. The dorms are all over thirty to forty years old and only a couple have air conditioning. One can tell that they are extremely aged, and they are at least a ten to fifteen minute walk to the beginning of campus. The RA's do not enforce curfew rules very well or mediate between roommate disagreements well, which can be extremely distracting for those students who are comitted to studying.

The worst thing about Purdue is that it is very cold for a lot of the year. The good times happen in the summer and its fantastic. Then comes winter and It is a long grind to get through. Most residence halls are far from acedemic campus for freshman so it discourages them from coming to class sometimes. Also this college (Purdue) is very expensive for out of state residents compared to the in state cost.

Alex

The worst part about Purdue is the poor snow removal on campus. The machines try to brush the snow off of the side walk leaving a polished layer of ice to walk on. The snow removal is not very good and it is a little dangerous to walk or drive around campus after a snow falls.

Andrew

It is just too big of a school for my preferences, but I know it will end up well.

Samantha

The worst thing about Purdue is the number of students that believe that alcohol is the best way to fit in and have fun.

Kiley

On campus housing and parking. The housing quality is very poor because landlords know they can get away with it. Students are forced to accept it for the convenience. On campus parking is also very limited.
