I wouldn’t worry (about your concerns vs. anywhere else). There’s prejudice everwhere, even where you live. But Purdue has a large Asian (domestic) population. But you can’t fix stupid, no matter where it is. Btw - the Chancellor you mention was at the Northwest campus, not main campus.
From the CDS - below. You can always have your student ask to speak to a student ambassador (that’s of Asian descent) to ask about their experience.
Case would be a very different experience urban, smaller. PSU will be less diverse and a more wide open campus. Kids from all three likely compete for similar jobs. In engineering, the name matters less than most think. My Bama kid turned down Purdue, against my desire. Told me rank is to sell magazines etc he’s proven me right. He had Purdue and Michigan but also W Michigan and Akron amongst others in his cohort. His internship had from Ga Tech and UT to Miss State and Tennessee Tech etc
Best of luck. 3 great choices. Go where the student feels best. Not the perceived best reputation.
