Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Mechanical Engineering  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright The Purdue experience is what you make of it. If you make friends early and get out there you will definitely have a good time. If you are not in engineering major you may feel that the university does not pay enough attention to you. If you are in an engineering major you will feel that the non-engineers have it too easy. Joining clubs will allow you to make a lot of new friends and learn a lot of new skills. Weekends are not boring if you know the right people. Social life improves greatly once you turn 21. The workload can be a challenge, I did not find it too hard but I may have a skewed perspective because I skipped 1 year of math and foreign language and was able to have a more spread out course load. But even that does not make fluid dynamics an easier course so it still is a challenge. The engineering students in Mechanical Engineering are very friendly and helpful. Doing homework and studying in groups is not uncommon and is quite helpful in learning the things you may have missed in class. Once you are passed the large freshman classes the class sizes in the ME department drop and professors are far more approachable and really do care about the progress of their students. Those reading this review who are juniors or seniors in high school will be happy to know that the ME building will be receiving a new wing soon as well as updated instrumentation in its labs. And finally, Purdue does a great job of getting its students employed in both summer internships and full time positions. Education Quality: A, Useful Schoolwork: C Have a Question?

It is a no thrills, baby sitting, institution. Your professors expect the best from you each and every assignment or task given to you and nothing else will do. However, there is a very warm, family feeling about the profs. They push you cause they know you can do it and want to see you do it . . . they just don't crap very well. HAIL PURDUE!

It is mistaken for an Ivy league school anywhere in the US. The faculty is helpful and the classes are challenging. The social life can be harsh. I recommend that you get involved as soon as you arrive. (especially if you are coming from out of state: the south or west coast) Fall semester is your only chance to find a click...so make sure you find one quickly. If you don't find one you can kiss your social life good bye. The greek life is like a HS within the university. The gossip, social rejection, drama, EVERYONE knows about everything that everyone in the greek community is doing or has done. If you are a guy...just don't get "blackballed" or else you will literally spend all of your time researcing where you are going to transfer next semester. I know the education is great but whats an education when you have not learned anything socially or established ANY future connections? I have never had a problem getting along with people and I am a very social person...I like going out and drinking on occasion...it's saturday night and I am sitting in my room! Trust my advice...Do not transfer here from out of state. Education Quality: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
