Supportive faculty and good student experiences.
Tips: Before joining Purdue you should know that it's fast-paced and super self driven. Stay organized and don't hesitate to use office hours, TA's and campus resources early. The transition can feel like a cultural and weather shift at first but the community is diverse and welcoming. Plan finances ahead and look into scholarships or assistantships early. It's hard but it's a good way and open a lot of academic and career doors.
Likes (Part time work): At Purdue, student life is best because there's always something happening and it's easy to find your people. Most days at Purdue are a mix of classes/labs, grinding in the library and then unwinding with friends or a quick gym session. What I love is the vibe, there's always something going on events, talks, career fairs plus a ton of clubs and communities, so it's super easy to find your people, build your network and still have fun while staying on track.
Dislikes (Public transportation): At Purdue, the faculty are genuinely accessible and supportive, office hours are useful, emails get timely replies, and prof's/TA's are approachable even outside class. Teaching is very application focused, so you don't memorize and apply in real time.

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.

Peaceful and vibrant campus.
Tips: The university is very well known and the academics are truly top notch. My professors have been some of the best mentors and educators I have experienced but job prospects are limited so there is a constant sense of uncertainty. Campus is full of energy with lots of events, food trucks, game days and more so student life is quite good. Campus is safe but being cautious is good.

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.
