kinda miffed its not west lafayette


I would take a look first before getting too miffed. Purdue and IU had a joint campus in Indy - IUPUI - but it has broken up and now Purdue is solidly Purdue in Indy and has made big investments there. It could be a good fit. The degree will say Purdue West Lafayette

It’s still Elmore and it’s still Purdue. The degree isn’t going to say Purdue Fort Wayne. Indy is an expansion of West Lafayette. I understand people might not like the location but it isn’t a lesser option.

Congratulations to the future Boilermakers!
DC accepted for Exploratory Studies (not first choice aeronautical). Anyone have experience with ES, transferring into FYE, and then declaring major?

Do engineering kids consider this a top school? DC's friends and parents are celebrating...

Congrats to all!

Did acceptance letter say honors? I ask bc DS applied for honors program but thinks he’ll bear in February. Maybe kids who got in were told today?
