Great resource for students. Not for staff…read more Staff can pay for memberships to the CoRec, but I no longer recommend it for staff. In the fall of 2025, something changed. The corec used to have a family locker room. The name of the family locker room has been changed. It is a small change, but indicative of the overall policies changing. In addition, the pool hours changed to be completely unusable for families. I used to give my son swim lessons at the co-rec, pools, but now, he cannot go because the pools are open at such weird times. Moreover, the pool workers are no longer friendly to families. When my son was 4, they let me take him in the hot tub for up to 5 minutes. It was a nice treat for my son after he did swim lessons. At 5 years old, they said he could stay for up to 15 minutes. I never let him go above 8 or 9 minutes out of caution. I was always with him. The last time I went to the co-rec, my son was 5 this fall, we got in the hot tub like normal. We were told to leave the hot tub because kids under 15 are not allowed. I pointed to THEIR SIGN hanging up that says 5 and up. They said, "I'm sorry that policy is changing. We are no longer allowing kids in the hot tubs." I said that we would stop going in the hot tub out when the sign and the website changed. Then I had 10 lifeguards escort us out of the pool area. My son was not loud or splashing or rambunctious in the hot tub. He was chilling and calm. Yet they insisted the new policy was no children at all. Shortly thereafter, they changed the pool schedule so families cannot use any of the pools. By changing the pool schedule to be unfriendly to families, they also make it significantly harder for students to use it as well. I stopped paying for the corec and take my son elsewhere to swim--places that are family friendly.

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.

When we first met AJ we were excited about our pup being trained by him. We signed a contract for…read more12 private seasons for 1250.00. We paid in full, we seen AJ 4 times out of the 9 sessions. The other 5 were with two of his friends that are not certified professional trainers per what the contract states. None of the 3 are on the same page when it comes to training. There are a lot of things I don't agree with that they are very demanding about you do with your dog. Yes I get it not everyone agrees. We wanted to have our pup tested for Star Puppy. We practiced at home. When we went to test, a lot of the stuff we tested on was not even on the test. That night you could tell AJ didn't want to be there. We asked to cancel our contract and were told you can't cancel. There is no refunds, we paid in full and I have it in writing saying we had three sessions left that are paid for. I have the contract that doesn't state anything about no refunds. Just what happens if you still owe for sessions unpaid. Then all communications stopped after we asked for the copy to compare with the one we signed. Trust me the money is not worth it. We paid 120.00 for 6 sessions with a professional licensed AKC trainer and our pup passed her Star Puppy certification with no issues at all. We actually learned so much more in those 6 sessions than what we did in 9 sessions with LOTP. AJ and his friends are always late for sessions, that is not something I consider professional. When my husband went to talk to them in person about the contract we were told they would be in the shop that day...: nope the doors were locked. AJ has a good idea but needs to take some much needed business classes. Stop hiring his friends. A lot of the things he tells people are not the AKC standards, I have spoke to two trainers that have been certified by ACK both over 15 years that say he is not following the guidelines. We have reacted out to our attorney about getting a refund.
