It continues to be a great financial bargain! Along with the excellent academics.
But, given the high (and increasing) numbers of applications and admits, I wonder whether Purdue is becoming (or has become) a victim of its own success. My impression is that the increasing number of admits is putting a lot of stress on campus infrastructure and the ability of the faculty to keep producing high quality academics; and I wonder whether it can be sustained, and how interested the Purdue administration is in keeping the number of admits high.
