Purdue University Reviews and Ratings: Student Reviews, Campus Reviews, Faculty Reviews

I initially chose Purdue University for a master's degree from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics which is among the top graduate programs in the USA and provided ample exposure to chart my way into a Ph.D. program. There are a variety of research areas available, however, some research is restricted to US nationals only in the field of aerospace technology. This is also true for aerospace-related jobs in the private sector which also require US citizenship for security reasons. Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Science department at Purdue are among the fastest-growing departments in this field here. Admitted students are well supported through assistantships and fellowships. I chose to get a Ph.D. in Planetary Sciences as I am fascinated by the geologic processes on earth and other solar system bodies. Amazing research is currently happening about the moon, mars, mercury, icy moons, asteroids, and extrasolar planets. Purdue is situated in West Lafayette which is a university town and I like it that way.

There were a couple of factors for example the Computer Science program here is really good. Secondly, my elder brother was enrolled at the same University. Thirdly, the tuition, as well as the boarding costs, are not exorbitant like in California for instance.

Purdue is well-known for its excellent Computer Science program, and I knew that many internship opportunities would be available to me at the school. I also liked its large campus and close proximity to my family.

I chose to attend Purdue for the reputation and networking opportunities it has. Although the location is not the best, it still has a great big-campus feel and the small college town is comfortable as well.

Good school and close to home Greta for my original major. Purdue has a nice campus but not too distracting or crazy. Some nightlife but still easy to avoid or participate in decoding on what experience you want.

Because of the good faculty and low cost of living in the state. Also there are good job prospects related to this field in this area.
