The Purdue guys say that the party/woman scene can be horrible, and there's not much to do - and classes are competitive and hard.
However if you're in a top school chances are the competitive pressure can be harsh, and to come out a stronger person you just have to live with it.

UW friend has no thoughts?

Haven't spoken to him awhile but he seems to be having fun there.

i hate uiuc for what its worth, heh. But it does have the tops engineering program, and you can party all you want i suppose. My only reccomendation would be to avoid staying at Allen Hall at all costs, that is unless you are a wierdo art/hippie.

LOL OMG YES. Do not stay at Allen!! Really don't say at ISR either. Yes it's the engineering dorm but it's full of WEIRD PEOPLE. Live at the 6-Pack for a year, deal with the distance, get some good friends, and live up closer to Green St the next couple years.

Yup same sentiment here, if you are going to college, go to a normal coed dorm, not some special engineering dorm. My friend AT UIUC went to an engineering dorm the first year and absolutely hated it.
