    Sophomore : I have really enjoyed being apart of the Boilermaker family at Purdue. It has been the best decision I've ever made to attend this outstanding university. They have provided me with resources to get connected with companies that I could gain employment and internship opportunities from. I have joined many clubs and organizations on campus that have allowed me to stay connected to the campus and make lifelong friendships and connections. It truly is an amazing school with a lot to offer. The school spirit here is above anything I have ever seen. If anyone is thinking about coming to Purdue, take the leap of faith and do it. It is an amazing school with amazing faculty that really take the time to get to know their student. Being apart of the boilermaker family has been a dream. Boiler up! Hammer down!

    Alum : I went here and studied engineering on a full tuition scholarship. I met some of the smartest people I know here and have very strong friendships with them years after graduating.

    The college is primarily a teaching college where professors both teach the courses and grade the course work. There are only a handful of large (100+ student) lecture style courses where there are teacher's assistants who grade assignments. Other courses contain a maximum of 35 students. The professors are very approachable and helpful and typically know the names of each student.

    The first year of engineering is usually when students who have a weak math or science backgrounds struggle the most and potentially drop out. Engineering students who complete their education are typically able to get a starting job salary of 80k or more. Some of my friends who landed jobs in Finance or Tech started with compensation upward of 200k in their first year.
