Purdue
is your typical large state school. Got into many
elite privates but couldn't justify paying the sky high prices
for those schools. If you are looking for your
typical college experience on the cheap, you can't go wrong
with Purdue. If you are looking for a high quality
undergrad experience, seek a private university. In typical large
state school style, at Purdue TAs do most of the
teaching while professors do the lecturing. Your typical Purdue
class will be a professor reading off Powerpoint slides for
50 minutes, 3 times a week and a TA trying
to hold a discussion about the material usually end of
the week (Most TAs couldn't teach a fish to swim).
Its pretty low quality... but again you aren't paying
much relative to other schools. At the days end,
at Purdue its basiclly you and a text book, TAs
are not great teachers and professors, well,you're lucky if you
can talk to one for more than 5 minutes. After
graduation went on to grad school at U of Illinois...
In terms of Purdue's reputation in the real world, its
considered a “decent school”. Probably won't impress to many people
with a Purdue degree outside the Purdue community, but again
I work in San Diego where many have engineering degrees
from elite schools like Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley etc... so
these people could just be snobs... So to sum it
up, Purdue is a decent cheap school, great for passive
learners, awful place for active learners. Big Ten athletics makes
the social life fun, at least in my eyes it
was. Home and away football ball games are priceless,
some of my best memories of Purdue were during these
football games and the greek life was great too.
I suggest anyone who goes to Purdue who wants a
robust social life, I suggest joining a greek house.
