Purdue is my favorite university! I believe that diversity is an important aspect of the school. There are numerous foreign students as well as students of all nationalities. The students are really nice and also proud of their school! The boilermaker special rides throughout campus, energizing everyone. Furthermore, athletic events are packed with students rooting for our side.
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.
I love Purdue! There is a lot to do around the Lafayette area (some people might disagree, but there really is a lot to do if you have a care/transportation), and campus is so gorgeous. Overall the dorms are pretty nice, but the dining courts weren't my favorite, but you do get meal swipes at most of the restaurants around campus during certain hours which is really nice.
I love Purdue sports! Everything is so fun to go to, and if you have a boarding pass it is so easy to get into most of the games if you want to go. Purdue really is a great school and great place to live.
