My husband and I enjoy visiting college campuses when we are travelling and we can check Purdue…read moreUniversity off of that list now. We visited the Neil Armstrong statue in front of the physics building. Then we walked around the campus eventually ending up in the student union. The beautiful campus was alive with students walking to class and cherry blossom plants blooming in the spring. In the student union we saw the Edgar Degas statue collection, several art galleries, and the magnificent architecture. If you're looking for a nice place to spend a spring afternoon, Purdue University is a great place to do it.

Security is a breeze, your checked luggage comes out so fast as there are no other flights. One hour before departure time is plenty early for your departure. They have an Enterprise rental car. They close before the 2nd flight arrives. Should you need a car, need to use a flight which arrived in mid day. If they could stay open for the late evening flight, this airport would be more useful for those who need a car. Flight may not be on time. Be sure to have plenty of layover times.

Nice waiting area. Excellent TSA experience. Pilots were excellent. Upon arrival in ORD we rode a shuttle that kept us in the secure area. Several flights per day.

Hot deets! I get to be the first to review this venerable academic institution. I think the main…read morething to point out is that you can be sure to get a quality education at any school where the founder is buried right on campus.

Fancy college livin', this is…read more For those who're fortunate enough to call First Street Towers their home, it's about as good as dorm living can get. And by good, I mean 'clean', 'quiet', and 'DAMN THAT SH*T'S EXPENSIVE'. We're talking major sticker shock here, folks--to the tune of $14K per academic year. This is in stark contrast to Cary Quad's $7K/year room & board. So is it worth it? Yes and no. The building is still shiny new and fits right in with Purdue's vision to appeal to a higher class of clientele. Each floor has two recreation areas with HDTVs and sofas, as well as a pair of clothes washers/dryers, a microwave and study table. Elevators are speedy and well-kept. Living here, you know you'll get the best facilities on campus (printers, lounge areas, etc)--the people are what will make (or break) your experience here. First off, the cleaning staff (each floor has its own) are very friendly and approachable. They're some of the nicest, most under-appreciated people at Purdue--so talk to them, even if it's just to say hi! The other faculty.....well not so much. Nancy at the front desk is, well, a 'not nice 4-letter word.' Usually irritable, occasionally condescending, really not the best person to greet first-time visitors. I fondly recall one time where I deftly swiped a dessert from across the street to snack on back in my room. Turns out, she reported me for theft of--wait for it--A PIECE OF PIE. Henceforth known as 'The Cherry Pie Incident', it got me into some seriously hot water with the residence manager, someone from HR, talk of potential police action......honestly it was a lot of unnecessary heat brought on by one person lacking a sense of humor. It was a major bummer. Aside from that, living here my sophomore year was one of my fondest memories of Purdue, and I met some fantastic people through living at First Street Towers. I loved the southern-looking view from my 5th floor room, even if the front desk people were problematic. This place is ideal for recipients of an academic scholarship or students whose families have deep pockets. Those on a tighter budget should only come here to use the FREE washers/dryers and give Nancy a hard time. Tell them 'Eric S' sent you. "Oh, you mean the cherry pie dude?" Yeah, that guy.

I am not surprised by the good reviews. They cater to thier teachers and their younger students. If…read moreyou are above the average age of a college student you will plan on be mistreated and if you are a man of odler age you will be mistreated to the point of just plain giving up on getting a degree at this community college. I was going for my degree in I.T. but gave up when I took a class with Adrew Gibbs. The class wasn't going to bad except for the sim labs not working half the time and having to listen to him ramble on for 2 1/2 hours about IT in, which he isn't trained. The topper was the midterm exam. We had 3 men in the class that were all over the age of thirty and he gave us 3 a different test than the rest of the class. He made sure all 3 of us failed all three midterms exams. The kids in the class all had an easier test and they as I was told were succesful on all three tests.

Inside, you'll find a spacious lobby with comfortable sofas and tables, a massive screen (on which we used to hook up the Xbox on social evenings :D), a pretty cool cafe called Port (which used to be my primary mode of sustenance...chocolate brownie and peace tea ftw!), fancy classrooms, offices and of course the delightful little terrace on the 3rd floor that overlooks the Bell Tower.

A beautiful campus, value in engineering, medicine, agriculture, aviation, business, research, and…read moremore but Purdue has major issues (pun intended). My aim here is that critical paper we learned in COM114 (irony) - I wish I could tell my HS self to be smart and study a trade. Better pay than most college grads, security, freedoms, and options like living in a small or big city, and crucially, avoid debt that bankruptcy can't clear. Purdue cost me $54,000. Worth it NO.WAY. Sadly many end up like me. I can happily say for you smarties, engineers, mathstat, the like, you have good odds here. I'm talking to 1000s like me who try Purdue thinking it will offer options lesser colleges can't. NOT.TRUE. I started Industrial Design, then to Computer Graphics, then graduated in Financial Planning 11 semesters, 55+ faculty, I had things to work thru but don't mind me! this is where it gets good About 35% of the faculty were ideal, full on personality, what a world class education center should hold dear. Shout out to Mr. Haywood in Bus Law! A good many did ok but a good many did not. Dr. Ma in both Risk Management and Investment Strategies never graded HW, made us help with his research in each Lab, and we found (later on) that final grades were RANDOMLY assigned to fit the bell curve. This is hilarious right Also a Dr. Snuggs taught some classes yet only graded on paper formatting not content. She hinted at unresolved childhood issues and made comments out of place outside of therapy. Her teaching was low standards for a WWI orphanage. It's a hard deal to see your money funding issues you can't fix. Some will say that is life! Learning to deal with difficult people is smart training for work later on. But no way! I am paying big money for an education not for a pencil pusher to waste everyone's time. If I'm supposed to learn motivation and responsibility from people like them, I should've taken online classes and figured it out with way less expense. Purdue seems to be looking for those odd kids too lazy to teach themselves with adult courses online but also just motivated enough to walk to a class taught by a pinata. Meanwhile my sisters were at Ivy Tech, 14 the cost and not a complaint with the teachers there. Purdue is like an Apple Watch; sure it's cool but it'll be outdated next year and worthless in three but as long as no one says anything let's keep playing this game! OK issue #2 I recall students acquiring solutions to exams in German and a few other classes. My group's white paper in ENG420 was on cheating. We concluded Purdue (most large colleges) unintentionally are a masterclass to enable kids to get away with cheating. Most students are now in a GroupMe to share solutions to HW not to learn. There's a pervading dirty reality hidden behind cheaters, frat parties, suicides, and teachers - things we don't want to talk about. US News ranks Purdue highly (which is hardly an unbiased assessment according to - again - we ignore the reality and keep chewing the fat) yet where's the rankings that include police reports per undergraduates and how well trained one feels at a new job Purdue has little influence to make sure students are doing well and can access the support they need on a big lonely campus. I never had the support or resources a well funded and recognized school should; where is the proof my 5 years and $50,000+ were worth it But again, forget me! A few Purdue students commit suicide every year. That is awful. Put that on a billboard Pete. You're blowing your endowment on new buildings and marketing while a couple kids blow their life. I want everyone to succeed and become the best they can be. As a Purdue grad, I sadly cannot say Purdue is worth its recognition nor is there a guarantee for the career boost one may anticipate. What will it look like for Purdue grads in 10-20 years I see a suspicious generation growing up doubting how much they can learn in a classroom compared to on their own reducing Purdue's image and worth. At the least, Purdue needs to get back to ensuring classrooms don't waste time, student's psychological needs are met, and education quality is based on a broad spectrum not just those who succeed and answer a survey. No one should go along with the hype to rush weak (another bad pun sorry) into student debt cuz your friends are. Purdue might be right for you but chances are it's not.
