Purdue University

I was at Purdue University there about a month and a half ago to the veterinary emergency room. My dog needs a small dog had a spinal injury and I couldn't get the money up to have a surgery but took 3 days but I got it up. The doctor at first said that they gave him 50-50 chance of not being paralyzed. That that was before Dr Jessica Linder is neurology surgeon and doctor said that he was going to make 100% recovery. I am so grateful to that doctor. She is a genius, she is dang good at what she does and she loves it! A miracle was performed the day that the dog had surgery, and it was performed through her hands!!!! I'm going to tell the world about her because she truly does care it's not about the money with her. That is something that I don't say about just anybody.

Worked as an intern for 3 weeks -- that was enough. Experienced behavior that felt racially and culturally biased Encountered passive-aggressive communication and dismissive attitudes from faculty/staff Toxic interpersonal dynamics and a surprisingly closed-off institutional culture Campus was uninspiring and inefficiently designed -- matched by the sterile, isolating energy of West Lafayette Across all the cities and institutions I’ve worked with in North America, Purdue University and the surrounding culture in West Lafayette were, by far, the most disappointing. The culture felt emotionally unsafe, creatively stifling, and unwelcoming. I left the experience deeply disillusioned -- and I stand by that decision.

Beautiful campus during the summer. Visited the Neil Armstrong statue and the surrounding areas - recommended for first-time visitors. Both of old gate and new gate were beautiful. We saw people taking wedding pictures in front of the gate. The lawn was also maintained well with many flowers. Enjoy the vibes on campus!

Beautiful, large campus! It was a perfect activity for us to do on our visit to Lafayette. We visited the outdoor amphitheater--loved the artwork and architecture all over campus. I also appreciated the respect given to well-known STEM innovators.

My brother and cousin taught here so it was only natural that I would apply here. Ten messages and no response. I guess it's not only your basketball team that stinks, but your Admissions team as well.

Great University and great place...! Both my daughters attended Purdue University W. Lafayette and achieved degrees and I could not have been happier with everything there..... Rated this year the 5th best public university in America, so they must be doing something right..... Great midwestern values.....! The University is located in a nice area, just west of the "banks of the Wabash" river... Since Mitch Daniels (ex governor of Indiana) took over as President, he froze the tuition and hasn't raised it in nearly 6 years..... That is unheard of.....! The dining courts are unbelievable, anything you could want is there, Chinese, Italian, American, just terrific... And as info, more astronauts went to Purdue than any other university and Amelia Earhart even taught there...! Drew Brees, Lenny Dawson, Bob Griese, John Wooden, Bill “Moose” Skowron, Hank Stram, Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson and many other great athletes called Purdue home... The great astronaut Neil Armstrong (first man on the moon) attended Purdue and achieved an aeronautical engineering degree and they have a statue in his honor on campus, as they do for Amelia Earhart... Purdue has its own airport...! This is a terrific learning institution and I highly recommend Purdue but buckle down, because it's not easy...! "Boiler Up"..!

This place simply makes me sad. I live so lonely during the pandemic, finished my meaningless MS degree. School bus cancelled 5pm during the blizzard. I had to walk 2 hrs to my apartment...

It was a busy day for a photo shoot, but the grounds and buildings were in good shape to make for a great afternoon.

This is a great campus as it is very well maintained. The biking lanes and large sidewalks are worth any campus visits. There's an abundance of emergency blue light kiosks. The fountains and statues are memorable and interesting. I appreciate the security of the First Street Towers dorms. I didn't have any expectations of the campus, but as I leave, I am glad I had the opportunity to come here for a conference.

I love this Campus graduated this past weekend, and the campus was very clean, and well kept up. Historical vibes for sure! The campus is pretty big and many buildings to honor alumnus, who had great efforts, and achievements throughout their lives. The food court was in the basement and omg so many good options to choose from. I completed my masters online and I wish I could of been on actual campus it is that beautiful! The food court reminds you of a mall with so many options to choose from. It also has a bowling alley for students and visitors, which I thought was very unique. The hotel they have on the Campus is just amazing! It's very clean and very good customer service. The campus is very elite and the boiler comes around throughout the campus to motivate the students and take pics! I am happy to be a alumni...BOILERUP!!!!!

As a graduate of this institution I look back and think of the numerous things they could have done to enhance the learning environment. Kicking students out of their dorms for three weeks during the Christmas break was very tough on a student who had nowhere to go. I ended up in a frozen apartment above Harry's The Chocolate Shop and almost died from hypothermia. Degrees from this big money colleges aren't worth the price. Mine is in a landfill somewhere. And Harry's The Chocolate Shop doesn't actually serve chocolate, just epic amounts of alcohol that will make your liver look like chocolate during your midlife autopsy.

Purdue offers value, a beautiful campus, an image that gets better the further away you go, variety, the casual social scene, but has major issues. Pun intended. This is Critical Thinking taught in COM114. Purdue cost me over fifty grand, just in tuition, what I learned for all that is difficult. I can happily say for engineers, science, medical, and you smart people: great odds here. Ignore this wordy mess and do Purdue! I'm talking to all like me who go to Purdue thinking it will offer options lesser colleges cannot. I started in Industrial Design, tried CGT, graduated in Financial Planning: 11 semesters, met nearly 60 faculty, $54,000. I had things to work thru, gloss over my struggles! Shout out to Mr. Haywood, great guy! But Dr. Ma, Dr. Snuggs, what a joke! Ma never graded anything, randomly assigned grades to fit the bell curve, and made us help with his thesis research in labs. Snuggs was more concerned with spacing after periods than any learning: she divided us into groups and made us do all the teaching. Some will say that is life! "College helps you learn responsibility" and, OK, that is junk talk. Paying big money for an education, I better get it. If I'm to learn motivation from incapable teachers, I am better off online avoiding social wastes. Purdue seems to be looking for kids too lazy to school online but motivated enough to walk to a class taught by a moody teen. So it's a couple excellent professors sprinkled among hilariously unsuitable. My group's ENG420 white paper was on cheating. We discovered Purdue unintentionally is a cheat's masterclass. Teachers getting paid less than an international student is paying in tuition, what will happen? Those students cheat and get away with it. It's a GroupMe that shares exam answers and solutions to labs. Previous German 102 exam answers questions cycle the class before the exam, way too many loopholes across Purdue classes the university openly ignores. There's also serious landfills of racism here as other reviews share but that isn't for me to add to since that wasn't my experience. But it is obvious how trashy Purdue faculty seems to act with overseas students ironically often the very best for maintaining a good image here! Purdue is trash with their trash too. An insanely wealthy establishment refuses to treat its employees with even a living wage thus replacing dish washers with single use plastic tableware. The penny pinching trading morals for polluting boggles the mind. Perhaps the worst: hidden dirty realities of frat parties, hazing, suicides, and wage thefts all taking place at one globally recognized educational headquarters. Yes, US News ranks Purdue highly but hardly an unbiased assessment according to an Adam Ruins Everything episode; so where are rankings that include police report per student and how well trained a grad feels a month into a new job? Where are the reports on pollution generated, suicides, mental health, and employee satisfaction? Purdue has little aid for mental health but plenty of dollars to throw at their coaches. A few Purdue students commit suicide every year. That is what we shouldn't forget. Truly awful Pete is blowing the endowment on new buildings and marketing while a couple kids blow their lives each semester. I want everyone to succeed and become the best they can be. As a Purdue grad, I sadly cannot say Purdue is worth its recognition nor is there a guarantee for the career boost one may anticipate. I graduated thirteen years ago and see a new generation desperate to take the chance for higher education while being suspicious of its worth. At the least, Purdue must stop lying and ignoring these serious issues plaguing campus: 1. Promote a crafted classroom atmosphere that removes easy cheating and serves each student and their own way of learning. 2. Focus resources to end plastic waste. 3. And most importantly address mental health through fair pay to employees and offering accessible health services to those struggling. This is the basic baseline for any successful establishment to step up into a bright future.

I did not attend Purdue University, but many of my friends did - including my boyfriend - so we took a day trip to West Lafayette to explore the campus. I distinctly remember not liking Purdue for whatever reason when I was a junior in high school, but the campus has changed a lot in the past decade and I was impressed. During our visit, all buildings were closed due to COVID-19, but we visited notable statues, fountains and green spaces. Highlights included the Engineering Fountain, railroad tracks through campus, Bell Tower (don't step on the seal - bad luck), iconic "Purdue University" archway and the Neil Armstrong building, complete with a statue of its namesake and replica footprints of his famous moonwalk.

Purdue has had an over-enrollment problem for years. They told my relative last year it had been addressed along with the housing issues that came with the over-enrollment. This was a bald face lie. They put three and four students in dorm rooms designed for two. They could care less about the student and the impact that crowded quarters have on their academics. This should be looked into by the Indiana state legislature. They make no attempt whatsoever to get students near the area of campus where their classes will be based on their major. For example engineering students placed as far away as one can get from the engineering part of campus. Paying out of state tuition for the treatment received is very concerning. A student is forced to go into very expensive off campus housing in order to obtain decent accommodations. Look around before you go to Purdue and do not believe what they tell you on pre-decision tours.

Many thanks to Walmarts LBU program and Purdue I'm able to graduate in a few days. It's been a long long two years! And I wanted to add Walmart paid 100% of my education and books.

I bleed black and old gold. This is my home and home away from home. BA '09 and MS '16 Boiler Up!

BOILER UP!!! #BTFU, #Fountainruns #breakfastclub #hammerdown #chaunceyhill BSIE 2007

Complete shit website, needs major improvement.

Hail, Hail to Old Purdue, all Hail to our Old Gold and Black! Amanda K. summed up the experience perfectly. My alma mater left me with a stellar degree, lifelong friends and long lasting memories. Krannert School Of Management is absolutely amazing. I have never been in a discussion where someone did not recognize the name. Boiler Up!

Nice university with lots for visitors to explore. I enjoyed touring the academic building and seeing the Neil Armstrong statue.

One of the best weddings I have been to at this fabulous college sports facility. My girlfriend took me to attend her nieces wedding. This was the third family wedding held here.

We visited and toured the campus . It is beautiful . The person giving the tour was very informative. The campus was clean , we felt welcomed and safe . Thank you for welcoming our family .

Tried it. Food was ok a little steep will prob not come back tho tbh. :/

everything from the bathrooms to the computers are old and breaking down. The food is expensive and poor quality. The bus system is unpredictable and the drivers hate everyone. The textbooks are so expensive but used only for busy work if at all. Greek life and parties are way too exclusive even if you're a pretty girl. Everyone is depressed and studies engineering. The professors play power moves all the time. The city of west lafayette is awful and it's not a walkable city. It's too cold during the winter and they don't even bother cleaning up the snow. The dorms are dead silent because no one's allowed to make noise or have fun. You basically spend all your time studying, working, going to the gym, and sleeping. There are like 4 bars and they're small and boring too

Sus. Which ain't bad the people are amazing literally everyone i met so far, the teachers can sometimes be rude but that's because they work long hours. TAs are always amazing no matter what and from the first years to the 4th 5th 6th and 7th are so funny even when it's been too much. Love this place forever and always. They are what our generation calls champs.

Purdue University bought Kaplan College. I took two classes over two years ago for one semester online. I got government loans of 4,000.00 that I am paying back now I have a collection agency calling me saying I owe 760.00 dollars to Kaplan. So two online classes cost upwards of 5,000.00 that's called screwing people. I am surprised a class action law suit hasn't been filled on this. I would give a lower review but one star is the best you can give. I called to talk to Kaplan/Perdue over the phone and was told sorry nothing we can do. I am amazed that a school can charge so much for two classes online for one semester.

As a middle age adult my parents and family were excited I was going back to school and Purdue at that. However, Purdue Global is just Kaplan University rebadged. I initially loved it, but the quality of "Professors" has gone down hill the last two terms. They are unorganized and unclear on assignments. They even went as far as to ask students to let them know what test questions were wrong when they rolled out the new Cengage system. The Cengage system is a train wreck and no one likes it. The text book and tests have no correlation. You have no idea if the tests will even relate to the chapter for that week. Very poor system and couple that with poorly vetted professors and you have issues. My GPA was above 3.5 before this and I am over 100 credits. The new "beta" Cengage roll out they did effected my grade, but after a lot of leg work I was able to get the school to work with me and only went down .1 on my GPA. Now my most recent class "Marketing" is terrible and a repeat of the last. The professor spends more time plugging his podcast during seminar instead of teaching. Sorry, I am here to learn not listen to your advertisement trying to get more listeners. To me this is unprofessional and is exploiting the school for personal gain. Then the same professor doesn't even bother to complete the rubrics for the assignments. This resulted in me being told I need to rewrite a paper that took me two weeks to write because it should have been on retail not on a restaurant. Nowhere in the assignment details is this noted and I pointed it out. So, fed up and not willing to redo a paper due to inept performance by faculty, Purdue Global lost a good student today. Very sad, to say I won't be graduating from Purdue.

This is a college tour review, not a alumni or student review. I've come to that point in my life where I'm starting to take a kid or two for a college visit. Maybe some kids are excited about this. My oldest son has no clue on what he wants to do and it's a VERY painful experience. We picked Purdue for a visit based on its location, reputation and curriculum. We had a 45 minutes powerpoint presentation and then a 2 hour walking tour of the campus. It was very thorough and they did a good job of giving you a feel for the campus. I wasn't too thrilled about the dorm room they selected for viewing. I don't consider a 40 inch flat screen, xbox and blu-ray dvd player as required school supplies!

When you go back and visit a place you haven't been to in a long time, you tend to get very reminiscent. It could be your childhood home, a neighborhood park you used to play in, your old high school, or your old college. I attended Purdue *cough* *cough* years ago. I visited once a few years after I graduated and haven't been back since. As much as things have changed, much of it remains the same. Many of the buildings haven't changed and it was surreal to be walking through some of the same halls so many years later and having them look exactly the same. I was really freaked out when I walked into the math building and it smelled EXACTLY as it did *cough* years ago. I saw my old dorm, Cary Quadrangle, which is now a five-star establishment compared to when I lived there. I used to have a 7x14 ft room (shared with a roommate my freshman year), a tiny little closet, and a community bathroom. Today, the rooms are bigger, each room has a walk-in closet, and a bathroom is shared by two adjacent rooms. The room I lived in my junior and senior years was turned into an elevator for handicap accessibility. Purdue is known for its engineering (a large percentage of NASA astronauts are Purdue grads), but I went for computer science. They were at the forefront of technology, using the Internet before it became a mass consumer phenomenon (called DARPANet back then), and I'm sure they still are. Because of my major, I was part of the School of Science. After graduating and talking to friends who attended other colleges, I was impressed with their registration process. Many of my friends were on their own to figure out what they needed to graduate. I was required to meet with my counselor/advisor once a semester to make sure I have the right classes to graduate and set the schedule for the following semester. It was nice to get that kind of guidance, especially when I was a wide-eyed freshman. Purdue wasn't my first choice for college and I just happened to apply upon a recommendation of a high school buddy. The decision to go there was the best decision in my life. I loved going to Purdue. It was well kept, had a good sense of community, and walking from corner to corner only took 10 minutes. I forgot how much fun I had there until memories kept rushing back during my visit. Hail Purdue!

Ha, really? I'm writing a review on the college I attended for four years? The best four years of my freakin' life?? My major was Visual Communications Design. And while Purdue isn't the first school you'd think of for a design major, it was a pretty damn good choice. The technology is all up to date, professors are well known and incredibly seasoned and are there for YOU, which is what you should look for in an education. Not to mention that I learned about being an adult, I "grew up" here. I met SO many people that have each effected my life in a different way. And for Indiana, the weather's not too shabby. Purdue made me who I am today.

Though several years ago now, my education at Purdue still comes in handy from time to time, and I don't just mean the classroom lessons. Because I attended a high school where my father was a teacher, I wanted to get lost in the large crowds of a state university. Hello, Purdue. With tens of thousands of students, I only stood out as much as I wanted to. Though I did have some lectures with almost 100 students in them, I had more 30 student classes than you might expect. And one of the things I learned is that showing up is half the battle. Academically, Purdue was excellent for me. The student advisers actually advised you but didn't harp on or try to trick you into taking more classes than you needed to. The dorm life was fairly typical as far as dorm life goes. The security was annoying at the time, but when my sister was attending a few years later and I saw things from a new perspective, I was grateful for their watchful eye. The campus TV channel introduced me to many excellent films that shaped my unique sense of humor. Socially, I think Purdue is about as good as it gets. As a chica, the guy-to-girl ratio was way in my favor. The school sponsored activities were almost as cool as the unauthorized ones. I made many many friends I still have today. The local community is supportive of the university and the surrounding shops and eateries make the town itself not a bad place to hang out. When people asked where I went to college and I say, "Purdue." They generally say, "Cool." To which I respond, "Yeah, it is."

I went from reviewing the little mexican joint around the block from my condo, to now reviewing the college i went to over 10 years ago! Is YELP multi-functional or what?!?!?! Purdue....what to say.... Yes, the rumors are true..."college is the best 4 years of your life".....yes..."you dont know how good it is til it is over".....and the sayings continue. I went to PU from 1996-2000 and loved it. Coming from Chicago, it was a nice change of scenery as you might expect and the social differences were rough @ first. Purdue was close enough to come home when i wanted....yet far enough to get away from home! The great thing about Purdue cant be summed up in a single review. There were amazing experiences that i take with me everyday and think about all the time. From the sporting events to the social gatherings....from the reality of living on my own to the reality that i need to actually go to class...everything was a success and i will never regret one minute of any of it. If you are scouting out schools...defintely try out Purdue. You will get the feeling Day 1 of how awesome of an experience it can be!

I love my school! I wouldn't have had all the job opportunities and the life I have today without the education and resources that Purdue provides. The professors, the career opportunities center, and just the overall experience I had at Purdue and in West Lafayette was great. Those were the best days of my life, so far. Enjoy it while you can. In the real world everyone knows that Purdue is a great school and they're always impressed.

How can I not give this place a 5 star review? It was my home-sweet-home for 4 years and I loved every second of it (well except for some academic aspects....7:30am classes? UGH!) Hail Hail to Ol' Purdue! BTFU!! And I don't care what anybody else says, Breakfast Club was the greatest school tradition EVER! * For those that down know, this is when on every home football game day, the bars open at 7:00am and people drink in Halloween costumes until the game starts* I guess I should also mention that my degree has gotten me a very nice job with a high-profile company! Purdue, you will always be so very near and dear to my heart!

Boiler Up!! I love Purdue. I would tell anyone that is thinking about attending a big school to check out Purdue. You will NOT be disappointed.

The best University on the planet... Hands-down. Purdue University is not only a great place to raise your children but an amazing place to achieve a world renowned education. Purdue University has put more men on the moon than any other university due to its amazing engineering programs as well as fantastic technology departments

Go Boilers! I'm a Purdue grad class of '82. My daughter will be a Purdue alumna soon too ('14). Love my university and go here often for sports and cultural events.

This is an impressively horrible school for graduate studies. Exploitative teaching assistantships, abusive anti-accommodaiton practices for graduate students with disabilities (one of my friends was driven out just because she was sick, and they're well-known for pregnancy discrimination), and just an all-around horrible experience. I wasted a lot of time, energy, and money on this degree, and my only wish is that I could go back and take seriously a few of the warning signs I saw when I started...and get the heck out. When I visited, a professor who as leaving for a job at another university even warned me to take ANY of my other options, but I didn't believe him. I was so shocked by what I perceived to be unprofessional behavior that I wrote him off, but little did I know that he was going out of his way to try to protect me. Just about everyone from my Master's cohort ran for better places for their PhD, and the only ones who stayed immediately regretted it. Specifically stay out of the Communication department (Brian Lamb School). While some of the professors are wonderful, those in control of your daily experiences, like the person in charge of the course almost everyone teaches and the head of the department (and even some of the most famous professors who might be on your thesis committee), are bullies who go out of their way to attack graduate students. Plus, most grad students teach three classes (three!) just to try to make ends meet. They also offer pathetic conference support, especially as compared to their competitors. Run, don't walk, from this program. When I looked into transferring to other grad programs at Purdue, I was consistently faced with professors who were warning me off. The common threads were: Purdue exploits graduate students, Purdue won't offer sufficient support, and there are much, much better options for anyone who can get into these programs. Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana, are also just not worth it. These are tiny cities without much in the way of things to do, proper grocery stores, good restaurants, natural areas, or nice housing. The apartment association in the area makes sure to maximize exploitation of Purdue students (because they are the primary renters in the area), so expect terrible service and few affordable options that aren't subpar or far from campus. If you're thinking about undergrad work at Purdue, yes, they take their academics seriously overall (and they offer a great study abroad scholarship for undergrads), but consistency in class quality is lacking...and lots and lots of important classes are taught by overworked and unqualified graduate student instructors. If you're coming for engineering or aviation, yes, come; it's worth it...but otherwise, there are much better options for you, too. Don't be fooled by Purdue's ranking. I've learned that those rankings are easily manipulated by major research universities, and don't necessarily reflect the quality of education one can receive. In short, this just isn't a good school for graduate studies.

Who knew you could review Universities! Way to go Yelp, you've made education a commodity. Your experiences are based entirely on the people you meet and the places you go. Obviously, college is no different. An ode to the cliche: college is what you make of it. I had a love-hate relationship up until I graduated from the old gold and black in 2005. Purdue has a beautiful campus and the staff (specifically within the School of Technology) was extremely helpful and supportive during my time there. The traditions are aplenty! Grand Prix week, runs through the Engineering fountain, Breakfast Club, and the Lion Fountain to name a few... To sum it all up, I'll go back to a marketing line I once saw... "Once a Boilermaker, Always a Boilermaker". BOILER UP!

BTFU! Oh, I love Purdue. The Engineering School is among the top rated in the nation and Purdue was home to the first and last man to walk on the moon. How cool is that? Purdue was my home for four years and I couldn't imagine it anywhere else. Boiler up!

Of course I give my alma mater a 5 star rating. Great memories. Phi Delt House. Wiley Hall Lacrosse team Study (sometimes). Stabes! I actually graduated

This place is decent for an engineering education, but there are better schools. The fraternity/sorority culture at Purdue is pervasive. This is probably because people are bored and want something to do. Stay clear of those fools, and it'll be all right. I graduated from here, and got a good education. It beats where I am right now (CU-Boulder) hands down for an education.

As far as institutes of higher education go - this is one of them. I would reccomend US News and World Report when evaluating colleges - but why not a five star rating from Yelp. PS - parking was ample

I love Purdue...Boiler Up! I have so many good memories here! Everyone's so welcoming!

Great school with awesome campus and fun sports to watch!

The premier engineering school in Indiana. Located in West Lafayette which has some things going for it along with neighboring Lafayette.

Boiler Up! - Ride the Boilermaker Express. - Check out the band to see the World's largest drum! It is REAL, and the band uses it! - Boiler Up and Hammer Down with Purdue Pete. - Experience "breakfast club which is going to the campus bars in costumes themes with your friends at 7:00 am on home football game days, and drink to get ready for games. - Initiate yourself with a "Fountain Run" thought the gorgeous and fun engineering fountain any time you feel like and getting soaked into being a Boilermaker! Plus it's fun times on hot days just because. - Take a photo with Neil Armstrong at the Neil Armstrong Engineering building. - Celebrate diversity with people from all over the world coming here for Engineering, Business, and beyond. - Harry''s Chocolate Shop for stiff drinks, a mixed student and alumni crowd, and free popcorn. - Jake's Bar for free peanuts, and hot dogs. The hot dog man is free but appreciates manners, so remember to say please, and also thank you! He once gave me a hot dog and I opened my foil and to my surprise he played a humerus joke and I was the lucky winner that thoroughly enjoyed this type of humor... "Two wieners, one bun!" Haha. I was wondering why he and his colleague that busy night were watch me. I love it! Plus, I really did want two hot dogs. It was a memorable moment. Haha. - Where Else Bar. Well, where else?!s - Neon Cactus for "Crock and Rock mug night" specials on Thirsty Thursdays and a bar with a piano man you can't miss seeing. His show is hilarious and tops! - Gelato at Greyhouse. - Sushi and Maru Sushi. - Hookah joints all around for those it interests. - Hot Box Pizza. Lets face it, it's disgusting. However at the center of the campus bars, we ALL have ended up there SOMETIME in our school life for drunk munching. - Mad Mushroom pizza is soooo yummy and not moved in with boiler market. Sweet! - Its a huge Greek life college, so if you are into that sort of thing,it's plentiful. - I love the campus, and all the places on it to eat and enjoy. I give nothing less than 5 bright stars to my graduate school Alma Mater. The education I have today would not be possible without Purdue and it's Krannert School of Management. Hail Purdue, Boiler Up, and keep calm and study/drink on! It's a great university, great education, and fun place to be!

The best 5 years of my life! (So I went for a victory lap...)

Great university. Stellar education, great college small-town feel, Big 10 sports- everything I want from a university rolled into one. Proud to be a Boilermaker!

Someone told me that since I reviewed Stanford for just laying around on the campus I should review where I actually went to school. So here it is. Five palladium stars.

Man. If I had the money, the will to live in indiana, and the balls to move out of sunny California... I'd totally come to purdue for school. One word: magnificant! Seriously?! After seeing the rec center.. Your breath is taken away at what they currently have and have plans to do by 2012. The campus although is at a large scale, buildings seemed within close vicinity of each other yet with lots of green. The surrounding neighborhood is bustling and within easy access of parking lots. Visit.. And omg will be your only expression.

As a latino student at Purdue, I have noticed a growth in the role diversity plays on Purdue campus. Even though it still has a long way to go, I do feel that the atmosphere provided a great learning environment and for those students who take initiative and want to be successful Purdue provides all the opportunities. As a professional I find the experience and quality of the education I received at Purdue very useful. Purdue creates leaders and pushes you to achieve your best.

Wow, I can write a review for my Alma Mater on Yelp? How cool is that! I studied Liberal Arts at Purdue almost 20 years ago, so take this all with a grain of salt. I wasn't a great student and was kind of confused and unmotivated most of the time so its a credit to the school that I did graduate and learned quite a bit as well. It didn't help me get a job (hello, Liberal Arts, ya know?) but I do have cocktail party conversation for the rest of my life and made some good friends. Most importantly I got a reasonably well-respected college degree without going into debt as the (in-state) tuition is low (not as low as it used to be) and the cost of living in Lafayette is dirt cheap. It took me several more years and a community college degree in computer programming for me to actually get a career, but thats another story...

Beautiful campus, world-class education, wide diversity... a perfect university experience!

I got my executive MBA there. The school environment is good. I rated my professors as A- Food is not bad B+/A- because of the Sagamore restaurant. I have to say the food is better than those I had when I studied at UCLA. The only thing I dislike is Purdue Memorial Union. I had stayed in that hotel for about 6 weeks as total within my 2 years study there. The room was small and it is kinda pricey for that kind of room too...

I went tailgating here for the Purdue Vs. ND game and had a blast. I have no real complaints ... I didn't go here I went to Ball State ;)

Boiler Up! A great college that still has the Old Traditions, now mixed with the technology of today to provide an atmosphere and level of education that every student enjoys.
