Purdue University - Main Campus Reviews

"I would recommend this school to friends and family because of the way the professors and other students in the classroom helped me in graduating. But for the issues with things dealing with the situation with the school, there has been a real lack of communication, especially with my student advisor who has had no contact with me and contacted her on many occasions to try and figure things out. But other than this issue this has been an overall great experience."

"I enjoyed my education but some situations were not so favorable. Some Teachers were harsh and arrogant. I did not feel that in the end of my last course, I was prepared on what to do and when to do it. I had to ask other students on what they did to complete the course"

"Purdue's online program was great for me as working adult, and with a family. I loved how I had the different dates and time options to select my own class days and time to be online for the seminars. The instructors are awesome, they respond promptly to your emails. offered lots of help if needed. I really enjoyed taking my course for Healthcare Administration with Purdue University."

"Purdue is a place filled with wonderful opportunities. My education there prepared me for my career and gave me the skills necessary to enter law school. My only disappointment is the lax attitude toward diversity and diversity education. Often time minority students do not feel welcome or safe due to hate crimes. The administration says little to nothing about the incidents. Purdue is a wonderful place to get an education, but needs direction when it comes to diversity and inclusion."

"I'm about 2/3 of the way finished with Purdue's online MS in Communication program. In all, I'd say I'm pretty pleased with it. The instructors are very smart and thoughtful -- although be mindful that it's not the same faculty that they have on-campus, as they've advertised in their marketing of the program. That said, I've been very happy with the quality of the instructors overall. The degree requires a good deal of work, but it's really fulfilling and, for the most, relevant to my current career in marketing/PR. One huge plus about the program is the structure. You only take one, 8-week, intensive class at a time. From a work/school balance standpoint, it's a great system. My only complaint would be that the technology they use for the degree isn't always great. They require students to use video presentation software that, frankly, doesn't even work. So expect hours of headaches every single time you need to present material to your classmates. Great program otherwise!"

"I am completing a dual degree through Purdue and Indiana University for a Masters in Engineering and a Masters of Business Administration. My engineering undergraduate degree led me into the world of manufacturing learning about lean and Six Sigma methodologies. The program I was accepted into was distance learning and was perfect for my busy work schedule having to travel on a moments notice. I was able to take the lectures with me and watch them from home, at lunch if in the office, or from my hotel room if I was travelling. Interacting with the professors was never a problem. They are all very responsive to email and are aware of their distance learning students and will accommodate them in however fairly they can. I highly recommend a distance learning degree program. It has enabled me to land my dream job working as a Business Process Improvement Managers, where I get to be a part of all the departments in my company and work as a consultant to each to try and develop and improve difficult or problematic processes."
