The diverse group of students, the friendly atmosphere, and the genuine concern that the professors have for each and every student overwhelmed me. I looked into other colleges in my area that offered Hospitality and Tourism programs, and did not feel that friendly helpful attitude from their staff.

To me the genuine concern for each student is the most unique factor that a school should have for its sutdents, and I am proud to say that I am a Purdue Calumet student.
