Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I wish I had chosen a 2nd major to be more flexible in teacher certification.My university experience was invaluable. The Music school is a school within a schoolo type of atmosphere so I had the benefits of going to a large university (good selection of courses research projects, innovations, etc) while at the same time having the support of faculty and students one would find in a small school.

Great urban university with the best of Purdue and Indiana Universities combined into one downtown stop. I am getting my MPA here and I love the professors and the students. Everyone is friendly and willing to help out. The only downside would be parking unless it's in the evening! Professors are also respectful of those working full time and it's a great place to wander around and see all the public art!

I transferred from Indiana University as a nutrition major to the nutrition program at Purdue at the end of my sophomore year. While IU is a nice school, Purdue is known to have a more rigorous nutrition program. I was afforded the opportunity to do research and work in a nutrition research lab and I feel that I got what I wanted post-graduation because of the resources and opportunities available at Purdue.

Came from California, experienced a strong college campus lifestyle vs big city university. A lot of time you can get bored but thats what its about, gather a bunch of friends and socialize, work on school projects together and create a positive social aspect, which is very important now a days to be a "people person" to get a job. I would recommend freshmens to do 1) Study Abroad, 2) join one of hundreds of social / academic clubs.

I feel lucky to attend Purdue! I love this school and I am thankful every day that I chose to come here. There are so many traditions and many opportunities to get involved on campus. There are also many resources for academic success. If you are falling behind in class or not making friends then you are simply not taking advantage of all the university has to offer. Boiler Gold Rush is one of the best new student orientation programs to exist in the nation and makes the adjustment to Purdue fun and worry-free.

Purdue is one of the most underrated universities in the U.S. Although Purdue is well known, it doesn't get the academic recognition like most Ivy League schools. Look into the boilermakers rich history and accomplishments, and it is on par with the most prestige Universities in the world. I will be sending my children and grandchildren to West Lafayette, Indiana!!

Great university! Kelley School of Business is the best. Before signing up for classes, make sure that you take them seriously. Additionally, you should get your 4 years planned out in detail and sign up for general education classes early, because they tend to run out fairly quick.

I am a fourth year student studying English from Indiana and I never want to leave. People here are friendly, campus is nice, there is always so much going on, and I feel like I am getting an excellent education. I recommend getting involved in student organizations, especially if you are shy as it is a really big school. I went Greek at Purdue and it is probably the best decision I have ever made. I have made lifelong friendships with people I probably would have never met otherwise. I would recommend Purdue to just about anyone; it is a very diverse school where everyone can find their niche. As you can see, I want to stay here forever.

Purdue University set me up for a positive and successful launch into the professional world. I obtained a very solid and unmatched education, paired with mentoring that can only come from the individuals at Purdue University. The number of ways to get involved is unmatched. Going to college is not a question of if you should go - you should. You learn a lot about yourself in a comfortable environment that prepares your for real world situations. High schools come prepared that your colleges courses will be more demanding then your high school classes. Study hard, ask questions, and don't be afraid to utilize your professor. Professors help those who help themselves -so approach your professor and ask for help!
