 " I really like Purdue, I am from out of state and new nobody coming here but quickly found a community here. There really is a club for every interest and you are able to find people like you. The sports teams are good, and the dorms are nice. There is plenty of off-campus housing available if needed. The buildings are nice, and many have been recently renovated. "

 " I really enjoyed Purdue. Even as a minority student, I felt I had a strong support network. I know sometimes I would have my grievances, but they pale in comparison to the quality of education I received, the number of professional opportunities I had, and the amount of fun I had along the way. I loved getting to participate in as many quality organizations as I did in a meaningful way. I have never regretted my decision to come to this school and O strongly recommend it to anyone, especially engineering major hopefuls. Mechanical Engineering at Purdue has been a wonderful experience for me. There is such a strong support system among the students and the faculty. I know many professors here very well and they all care about me. Even at such a large institution, the faculty cares to know your name and your story. Not every big school can say that. If you're debating whether or not to go to Purdue, you should do it. It's a great school with great people that will develop you perfectly for the career you want. I've got a full-time job lined up post-graduation that I wouldn't have had without the loads of experiences I gained here at Purdue. "

 " Extremely thorough program.  Enjoyed my relationship with my thesis advisor.  I would tell future students in this field to ensure the city in which they reside appreciates the degree.  Future students should make sure they reside in an academic area in which I/O psychology is understood.  The degree is somewhat specialized and is more than one would get at a community college with human resource students but some localities do not understand what the degree entails. "

 " It's a great college with lots of opportunities. Especially with nearly the whole city being the college, it's a safe place to live in. Is it the best school for my major? No, but it is a great school where you can learn a lot and still enjoy your college experience. "

 " Purdue University Global is a JOKE. College is already over priced but Purdue...oh Purdue takes the cake.
5,000 for two classes with instructors who sit in their homes and talk for an hour more about personal BS than they do anything else. Absolute joke. 
Im gonna keep going just to ease my way through a degree. "
