Rewarding journey for tech enthusiasts.

Tips: Purdue is a research-intensive and academically demanding university, so be prepared for a rigorous curriculum, especially in STEM majors. Time management and self-discipline are crucial. The academic environment is competitive but rewarding, with access to world-class faculty and resources. Transitioning from India to the US required adjusting to a different academic structure, independent living and more open classroom discussions.

Purdue has an amazing alumni network and is academically oriented.

Tips: It is initially difficult to move to a different country, and that takes time. However, with time, the university grows in you. Purdue has an amazing alumni network, so it's easy to find someone in most settings to turn to for help. It's extremely academically oriented and that's great.

Likes (Public transportation): The buses on campus are free. It is available every 30 minutes or less, mostly. The transportation between 8 AM to 10 PM is easily taken care of by the city bus system. Post that, students tend to resort to cabs. However, most establishments close at that time so it doesn’t really affect us too much.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I personally would like to learn here and come back to India to work at some point in the future. But this depends less on the university and more on the job market and the current situation in the country. However, Purdue does have a good alumni network in most companies.

Purdue has very good ranking and esteem, especially there Ms-Cs program.

Tips: One thing is to get a TA/RA/GA opportunity, as those are very few for new joiners. Start emailing professors and all departments, especially life sciences, for an RA, as soon as you confirm your admission, for the potential availability of positions. One good thing about CS students is that they can work at any department as software requirements are everywhere. These opportunities (TA/RA/GA) come with a fee-waiver and give a good salary every month! Purdue gets good funding. Also, if you see that you are not getting any assistantships, then you can apply for other hourly-paying on campus jobs on Purdue's career page, but these don't have a fee waiver. Purdue's MS-CS course can be very stressful if you don't select the courses wisely. At least in the 1st semester, do not go for difficult courses as we are mostly setting down. Don't just take a difficult course to try things. We want to get internships in the 1st year and a job in the 2nd year. That is why, don't overload yourself, as you might spend time doing on-campus jobs, home chores, etc. Buy second-hand stuff such as a table/chair/ other furniture from Purdue Surplus or join housing groups. People moving out give their stuff for free many times.

Likes (Safety): The area around Purdue (West Lafayette) is very safe. I have come home at 10-11 pm with public transport. The city buses are quite reliable and run after hours, at which the one I take (4B). There are emergency poles around the campus, where there seems to be a button to press in case of emergencies. Also, I see police vans standing around the campus as well.

Dislikes (Student Life): There are some good things that go on at campus, but graduate students are given too many loads that they cannot really enjoy the other things happening around. At least I can say that about MS-CS students. There are Indian communities on campus, who arrange good events and we enjoy those twice or thrice a year.

Mixed opinions about the University but grateful for the experiences.

Tips: Honesty, Purdue's quality has severely gone down over the years and it does not make sense to come here without scholarships. From a networking and opportunities point of view, Purdue is an ideal place and it is very safe and student-friendly. But if you are getting a higher-ranked university, I suggest you go for that.

It is a great Engineering University with lots of resources and opportunities.

Tips: It is a top Engineering school with a lot of resources available for everything. It has fast flexibility in coursework and a good policy for internships, so look out for internship opportunities. There are funding opportunities, but they might be restricted in some departments. It is a good college town where everything is built for and around Purdue.
