“Purdue has a large, diverse student population with hundreds of clubs and great access to active professors who enable any student to find and pursue his or her passion.”

Brian Burg, computer science

“I love the numerous opportunities that Purdue offers that I wouldn't have had at a smaller institution such as the biology department’s physician shadowing program and the numerous internship opportunities.”

Jennifer Stanley, biology / pre-medicine

“Like a lot of the friends I've made at Purdue, I have a deep fondness for science.  And while learning is a lot of fun, my personal pleasure came from doing science.  At many other top-flight universities, you can learn from great professors.  But at Purdue, you get to participate in doing science with great professors.  The opportunities for undergraduate research are so extensive that studying science at Purdue is a great way to start a career in research science.”

 Michael Doud, chemistry

“What I like most is the attention that I get from the faculty in my department and the College of Science, and all the leadership opportunities that are available to be involved with faculty and staff at Purdue.  Because Purdue is a very large school, it offers a wide range of classes that you can take, even outside of your major area of interest, and this allows you to take fun classes along with all the tough ones.”

Amanda Sheffield, atmospheric science

“Purdue is such a big school, but the College of Science is so small that I may as well be going to a small school. All of my lectures have between 15 and 20 people in them. Because Purdue is a major research university, I have the opportunity to work in world-class labs and get amazing internships.”

Shakeel Dalal, physics

“I was really homesick when I first came to Purdue and wanted to go home. I used the free counseling services and was advised to surround myself with people and make my dorm room feel as much like home as possible (pictures, stuffed animals, etc.), and focus on the positives. Before I knew it I was comfortable with my surroundings and  became very close to the girls on my residence hall floor. I also kept busy by "Going Greek" and getting involved. Ever since then, I love Purdue and am so glad that I stuck it out.”

Rachel Roberts, math education

“Try and put yourself out of your comfort zone as much as possible during college. What I mean is try to meet and hang out with different kinds of people and take advantage of any study abroad or internship opportunities. My internship and study abroad were definitely the highlights of my college experience. Just putting yourself in these situations teaches you a lot about yourself and others.”

Brad Raatz, actuarial science
