Yeah, I attend Purdue. I get 4 bars everywhere on campus except in the basement of buildings where nobody gets a signal. Pretty much all of Lafayette is covered very well. The only problem you might have is if you decide to live out in the boonies where the signal gets weaker. You'll find better reception with T-Mobile than you will with Sprint but I've heard that way out, Verizon is the best. I would definitely recommend T-Mobile because within the city it beats Verizon hands down.
