Purdue University

[Azndude51]

I go there now, my sister went there, some of my friends go there, my parents work there, I am from West Lafayette, and I've worked for the University during the summer. I'm getting real sick of this place 🙁

It's not in my life.

Let's see . . aren't they the Boiler Makers . . . or maybe the Boil Healers, I don't remember.

Too many mouth breathers?

I go there now... It's my first year, so the place isn't old or boring. My chemistry class is kicking my ass (to any potential students: don't take CHM124 even if they tell you that you're smart enough), but other than that I'm feeling just fine. It might help that I haven't lived in the area all of my life, though.

Purdue is only ranked 60th nationally and costs more than 25K a year?!

Two words: rip off.

Some people live in state, in which case it isn't quite as much of a rip-off :roll:

Er.. top 10 engineering anyone?

That said, I applied, got in, and chose UIUC instead.

He went to Wymoming State Tech Western Community College. Tuition was suprisingly inexpensive...

1992 Purdue grad here. I still live and work in Lafayette.

I believe Purdue has a pretty nice Biz School. I may apply there for post-grad.

Yeah, Krannert is in the top 3 I believe.

I attended school there for five years (and am the single dropped out vote). I was sick and tired of school in general.

edit: forgot an n.

In state + parents are employees = double discount

Both my parents got their graduate degrees from there and worked there.
