My daughter & I visited Purdue the summer of 2014 and as we were driving through miles and miles of corn fields, my daughter started yelling in the car “I am not going to any college that is in the middle of a corn field.” Needless to say she made it loud and clear that she intended to go to college in an urban area. But, I could definitely see the attraction that Purdue has. Even though clinicals aren’t close by they are still do-able if a student understands that it will mean getting up at 515 am to leave by 545 - 6 am to reach clinicals by 645 am and that would be twice a week and maybe one semester 3 times/ week. Clinical will get cancelled in inclement weather. If your kid is the roll out of bed last minute type then clinicals close by to the university would probably work better. If you are in-state for Indiana then Purdue may be the more economical choice even if clinicals are further away.
