I
don't live very far from Purdue (about an hour). In
high school, I had no idea where I wanted to
go to school. When I was a senior I decided
that I wanted to transfer to a school in CA.
I ditched that idea due to the fact that I
live so far away from California and I had no
idea how I was going to get there, how I
was going to afford it, what school to go to,
etc. It was too big of a jump for me
at eighteen years old. I came to Purdue because it's
a Big 10 school and I have always wanted to
go to a big university, and it has a good
reputation in my town, along with IU. That's ALL I
knew about Purdue. I didn't know that as soon as
you come to Purdue you are labeled as a weird,
ugly, racist, close-minded hick who is probably majoring in Agriculture
or Engineering. If you go to IU, you are usually
labeled as a rich, snobby, good-looking city boy/girl who drowns
herself/himself in alcohol. I liked Purdue when I went there
for my first year. This was because I was a
freshman girl, and when you're a freshman girl you have
plenty of frat parties to go to throughout the week.
The greek system is huge here. If you don't plan
on rushing (I didn't) you're going to get involved with
the “greeks” somehow (parties). If you do rush, prepare to
be stereotyped every day of your college life. Everyone knows
the stereotypes, including the GDIs. The sorority girls talk shit
about the GDIs. What I hate the most about Purdue
is the campus. It's HIDEOUS. Brick buildings everywhere. Trash. Litter.
Gravel. Hardly any plants or trees. Everything is so gray
and drab. Don't plan on finding a place to park
anywhere on campus. You MUST buy an expensive parking pass.
If you try to park ANYWHERE at ANYTIME you will
be towed or issued a $20 parking ticket. If you're
a girl, don't expect a campus full of hotties. The
guys here are UGLY. You will find yourself searching for
one cute facial feature. There are also a lot of
“weird” people here. Most of the guys are perverts, or
creepers and they hit on anything that walks. The apartment
complexes in the area are ridiculously expensive and totally not
worth it. Meaning: they are trash unless you have rich
parents. The city of Lafayette is boring. A small town
in Indiana. The mall does not have many stores. Purdue
is also ridiculously easy to get into. A lot of
people here tried to get into better schools but couldn't,
so they came to Purdue. I'm transferring next year.

Responses I don't mean to be rude but some of your comments about Purdue are exaggerations to say the least. Maybe you should have learned a little more about Purdue before you chose to live here. I am a GDI and while I agree that there is a separation between greeks and the rest of us, no one talks about you unless you give them something to talk about. People and friendly around here. People hold the door open, pick up something for you if you drop it, say thank you and excuse me. There are always exceptions but in my experience students are friendly if you are friendly. Purdue is the most beautiful place I have ever seen in the Spring. ALL of the trees bloom full of white and pink flowers!! Parking is an issue and Apartments are ridiculously expensive. There are PLENTY of cute guys here and depending on where you find them, they are not all creepers. Purdue might not have the best Liberal Arts Department but many of their programs are world class. I got into Notre Dame but chose to attend Purdue instead and I wouldn't dream of changing my decision! My heart belongs to Purdue!! Boiler UP!!! |
