I attended orientation called Boiler Gold Rush which was filled with new experiences. I was able to meet new people that lived in the same dorm as I did as well as get a feel for what the campus was like. Boiler Gold Rush provided students with opportunities to see comedians, musicians, and several other performances. The food is absolutely amazing!!! The dining halls provide excellent food options for everyone. Everyone is so friendly and the professors, counselors, and other staff members are extremely helpful with guiding students in the right path.

Ashley

I believe that the emphasis on academics and each student's future really prepares them to do well in the working world after college graduation.

School spirit

Stephanie

The best thing about Purdue is that there is always something going on or somewhere to go. Even if you don't have a car, you can walk to good restaurants, coffee shops, sports, parties; or take the bus to Wal-Mart or your choice of several beautiful parks. Even if you're not a very social person, there is always someone, an acquaintance or classmate to give a ride to that basketball game-watching party. When you don't want to work on that 10-page research paper anymore and you're nocturnal, there is always something to do.

Christina

The school spirit and atmosphere at Purdue is really great. Everyone wants to be there, and since it isn't a preppy private school everyone is working really hard to be there and stay there. There aren't a lot of people living of their family to be there, so everyone has a lot of the same values and focuses on school just as much as on social activities.

The best feature our school has is the school pride students develop. I say develop not show because many students who come here are from out of state or out of country. In alot of cases students had not heard of Purdue before enrolling and the pride Purdue instills in people is amazing.

The school spirit. For every football and basketball game my school has, there are tons of fans in the stands. We have a thing called "Boiler Blackout" where the student sections all wear black, and it covers the entire stadium. It shows that a lot of Purdue Students support their athletic teams.

Purdue University is full of spirit. Although the campus is quite large, there is always a feeling of community. The academic and extracurricular programs are amazing as well. Purdue just has so much to offer that it's almost difficult to decide what to do! The campus always feels like home, and even the alumni love getting chances to come back for visits.
