The dorms are so much fun. I highly recommend that freshman live in the dorm for their first year. This is where you make your closest friends. The ones that will…
Dorm life is a good time! Granted a few of the halls have no AC and are relatively old, There are also many that have AC and other amenities, and…
It's a dorm, not a hotel. There are a TON to choose from at Purdue though, and each one is different/offers different things. Regardless of where you stay, I guarantee…
It all depends on where you live. If you get assigned to dorms that are farthest away from campus, such as McCutcheon or Hilltop, you will have to spend 20-30…
Dorm life depends on your roommate and your those on your floor. It's important to come to an understanding w/ your roommate at the beginning of the semester on everything…
Eating at Chauncy hill mall is my favorite place to eat when I visit campus.
Read MoreAwesome food and I am super picky!!
Read MoreThere are multiple dining courts all over campus and lots of great restaurants that accept dining dollars so you'll always have a wide variety of food to choose from.
Read MoreDecent food with selections for vegetarians and vegans.
Read MoreThe food in the Dining courts are better than most everything you find. There's an option to create your own pizza, pasta, and stir-fry. I would say though, to cycle through the dining courts as much as possible before winter starts because the food can become repetitive if you just keep going to one dining court.
Read MoreAh, the dining courts. The waiting for an hour on chicken tender and make your own mac and cheese night. I, personally, like the food. It's pretty good. Plus if you have the meal plan it's SO convenient. The way it works is like this: You buy a plan (say 13 swipes per week). 3 meals a day, the courts are open 3 times a day for 6 days, closed Sunday (if I remember correctly). So you are basically covered for the whole week. Plus you get to eat and not have to worry about cooking yourself food or buying groceries. Plus if you can't sit down and eat, there are on-the-go options. But, if you don't want to pay for the meal plan (which could be expensive depending on what you get) there are plenty of restaurants to go to or order from. Because delivery is huge on campus, why walk to a place when someone can bring the food to you?
Read MorePurdue is ranked 16th in food in the US. The food is great! With 5 differently themed dining halls, restaurants in various places, markets, a food truck, and the food in the union all accessible through the meal plan, there is excellent variety. Meal plans are only available if you live on campus however, and I will definitely miss the dining halls when I head off campus next year.
Read Moresome dining courts are not clean at all. met some really nice people working at windsor dining court.
Read MoreGreat food. Purdue is nationally ranked in food.
Read MorePlenty of fraternities and sororities to choose from.
Read MoreI'm no expert on the greek life but what I can tell you is that there are so many houses for each kind of person. There's an engineering sorority, a frat that focuses on business and soccer, a science frat, etc. You'll fit into multiple houses, and the memories and friendships you make there will last a life time. College is what you make it. You don't need to be a part of greek life to make it through, but you can join if you want. That's the beauty of it.
Read MoreI am not personally involved in Greek life, but I know a bit about it and my girlfriend is. There is about 50 fraternities and 30 sororities. 20% of the school in involved and they are a major presence on campus. Not major enough to where you feel like you are missing out by not being involved, but major enough where you do not feel like an outcast if you are involved.
Read MoreGreek life is pretty diverse and Greeks are nice around campus. It has a fairly nice Greek houses.
Read MorePurdue has the third largest Greek population in the country. So if you like Greek community, fraternities, and sororities Purdue is your place.
Read MoreI am not involved in Greek life, but many of my friends are and they enjoy it. They have a great support system and friends they will have for years after graduation. I cannot say much here, but if it is something you are interested in, I would definitely check it out or at least try it.
Read MoreGreek life is huge at Purdue. It's worth giving it a shot, even if you think it's not for you.
Read MoreHuge, as I have stated in all of my other things. Not very diverse.
Read MoreI am not a part of greek life, but it is very big here, I know many girls who are involved and they love it.
Read MoreGreek life is HUGE at Purdue. I highly recommend it. If you aren't in a house, you really don't go out. My roommate has maybe gone out 5 times within a semester. I usually go out 5 times in 2-3 weeks!
