Purdue University is a wonderful institution. The campus is absolutely beautiful, especially in the summer when it gives off a "fantasy" vibe. The faculty, in general is great. Many professors are generous and kind to their students. The courses can be a bit tough, but that is to be expected at a high-achieving university. In general, these difficult classes will make you well-prepared for any challenges that come your way. Don't be discouraged! Everything is doable. Try your best and see where things end up.
Becoming a Boilermaker this year has been all that I could have imagined. Although, some experiences are different due to Covid 19, I still feel like I am getting a memorable experience. Everyone that I've encountered have been incredibly kind and I've met many new friends. I also enjoy indulging in Purdue traditions. Jumping over the railroad tracks, doing the fountain run, and avoiding walking under the bell tower at all costs has made my experience worthwhile. I'm proud to become a Boilermaker!
I have really enjoyed being apart of the Boilermaker family at Purdue. It has been the best decision I've ever made to attend this outstanding university. They have provided me with resources to get connected with companies that I could gain employment and internship opportunities from. I have joined many clubs and organizations on campus that have allowed me to stay connected to the campus and make lifelong friendships and connections. It truly is an amazing school with a lot to offer. The school spirit here is above anything I have ever seen. If anyone is thinking about coming to Purdue, take the leap of faith and do it. It is an amazing school with amazing faculty that really take the time to get to know their student. Being apart of the boilermaker family has been a dream. Boiler up! Hammer down!
