I have stayed there several times, and it has always been clean. The football team stays there the night before games so I am sure if there was a problem with bed bugs the Holiday Inn would have taken care of it.

Does anyone know if Purdue will allow current students to take summer classes outside of Purdue for credit?
For example, if a student is required to take a core class like Calc 2 or Calc 3, can they take it at a community college or state school in their home state during the summer and have that count for their curriculum and credit?
Yes you can, but I believe only the credit transfers, not the grade. Hereās the transfer credit course guide link: Purdue Transfer Credit Course Equivalency Guide
You can look up the school in your state along with the class to make sure the credit will be accepted.

Yes, but clear it with your advisor. General education requirements transfer easily, but there are certain classes in certain majors that must be taken at Purdue.

Anyone know how long Purdue takes to decide on an appeal?
I donāt know how long Purdue takes for appeal. Just guessing, it will take long enough for the student to hear from other schools, accept other offers, move on, and forget Purdue. Then whatever the outcome is, the student wonāt care too much about it any more. Just my two cents, if I were the appeal officer, I would probably do that.
If you are accepted in FYE and Honors College are you Honors Engineering?

Any insight on the Larsen Leaders Academy? Thanks in advance!!
S23 applied for LLA after we went to the Admitted Students Day in early March and was admitted in early April. It has some benefits such as being part to be a living & learning community with like-minded business students and being able to take Leadership Concentration. It does requires an essay.

My DS24 was Deferred for CS with AI being his second choice. After some reflection, heās wondering if he can change his second choice to Neuroscience, another major that heās been accepted at elsewhere, and shouldāve made here?
Wants to study applying technology to help those with Neurodegenerative diseases, and after researching, feels that Purdueās Neuroscience program would be more appropriate vs. Purdueās AI offering.
At this point, is this something he can change/request through the portal, or will he need to contact the admissions department directly to discuss? Thank you!!
No. Honors Engineering is a separate thing. Most majors have an honors program within their major/department. The Honors College is the only honors living learning community, though, and it has more of an interdisciplinary mission. Your student can talk to his/her advisor about earning honors in his/her major.
Is this now the case? When my D was a sophomore they told all the current honors engineers that they were automatically considered Goss Scholars (engineering honors).
My understanding is the same as MomofBoiler1. Honors College admission plus FYE = automatic honors engineering/Goss Scholar. There was an LLC called Goss Scholars that were honors FYE students but not in the honors college. Thereās still website content about Goss but itās not listed as an LLC any more on the LLC page. Iād reach out to FYE or Office of Future Engineers for clarification.

Being deferred is still under condideration for application specified major so youād need to reach out to admissions with this kind of request.

Does your child have other CS-type acceptances? Purdue is a wonderful school, including for neuroscience. But a bachelorās in neuroscience is not a degree with a lot of job opportunities. Someone with a bachelorās in CS (or AI) will have way more job opportunities. Iād think carefully about making that big of a change in his second choice major (for employment purposes itās a CS to biology change).

Thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it!!! He has acceptances for both CS and Neuroscience at a handful of schools, but he prefers Purdue. Iāve stopped trying to figure out exactly what he wants going on several years now 
Trying to be helpful and supportive by gathering info for him to make his own decisionsā¦
Thank you again, and to Bookishmom as well for responding. Iāll share with him so he can decide!!!

Well if heās sold on that neurodegeneration plan, the typical path would be an undergrad degree in bio/chem/neuro followed by a PhD. Thereās just not a lot of jobs or alternatives with a neuro degree. If he has a CS-type major, he can still work in neuro, but heāll still be employable if he doesnāt end up in neuro. Heās lucky to have you helping him gather info!

Went ahead and canceled/denied my admission offer to Purdue(Business). IU(Kelley) gave me a much better offer and I will be basically paying almost nothing for tuition with them. Hopefully this can free up a spot for someone who really wants Purdue. Best of luck to you guys.

My D applied for neuroscience and still deferred.

My son was accepted to engineering at UIUC and several other high end universities but deferred at Purdue which is his #1. Funny because as you say UIUC is more competitive. I wonder what Purdue is prioritizing in their student applicants this year?
