"I enjoyed the program and the school. The later courses did a reasonable job exposing students to a variety of languages as well. The biggest drawback while I attended was there wasn't much of a focus on web development or things like scalable back end services. Beyond the classes Purdue is a great university to get the full college experience."

"Good school, very high level education, very difficult, very analytical. If you want a field forestry job, pick up as much extra curricular field experience as possible, you will get very little in the course work."

"It's a great school with a very competitive academic and athletic atmosphere. Although it is a large school, between classes, clubs, and other organizations, you certainly will not get lost in the crowd."

"Very diverse community with people from different countries and ethnic groups. Very open for diverse people, including LGBTQ community. I think it's good value to pursue degrees here. They have plenty of financial aids and scholarships, and you'll earn a lot after graduation if you're a domestic student."

"Going to Purdue University was a great experience. My friends I met my freshman year in the dorms are some of my best friends to this day. The things I learned outside of class at Purdue were just as important as the things I was taught in class. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend anyone considering the college to go for it."

"College is what you make of it. The big thing college kids believe is that you have to use your degree. Know that a degree of any kind is usually good enough to get your foot in the door almost anywhere."
