Hello, my son is at Purdue. I wonder, have you been able to see it in person? Anyway, it is absolutely stunning. It’s a quintessential college town, with beautiful brick buildings from the late 1800’s. You would think you are at Harvard or something by the look of it. My son loves the Big 10 sports. We went to a home football game (parents day ) and you just can’t believe the spirit that this town has for Purdue. I think every man, women and child in West Layette and surrounding areas showed up! There is also lots of greek life and parties (much to my dismay as a parent, ha ha). He’s not a CS major but mechanical engineering, but all majors have job fairs often. Companies are already after him . He is already doing a Co- op for General Electric. Love Purdue. I’m from San Diego, native Californian and you do not see that kind of passionate school spirit at most CA schools. I also love Purdue’s mantra, which is do something good in the world, make a difference. Boiler up!~
