Poll: Who has heard of Purdue University?

[Azndude51]

I plan to go there as a freshman next year. People say it's well known all over the world, but I've lived in the area for too long so I don't really know how well known it actually is.
They are known as the Boilermakers because their engineering school is very good, its located in Indiana. Some famous people like Neil Armstrong and a bunch of other astronauts and Orville Redenbacher (the popcorn guy) have graduated from there.

Anyone want to start up a "Who has heard of Rutgers University?" thread?

I've been living in West Lafayette, IN for almost 15 years. I've been around Purdue since I remember, so I don't really know how well known it is outside of Indiana.

EDIT: Plus, I remember seeing on Jeopardy (one of teh shows with college students) that a guy didn't know what Purdue was after seeing its maskot. And I've run into a few people in Wisconsin who have never heard of Purdue.

That's cuz they're from Wisconsin. Purdue is a good school with a solid reputation. Top notch engineering school, with up-and-coming departments in biomedical, chemical, and biological engineering.
