[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a college counselor in the DC area and I think Purdue is incredibly underrated by families in DC. It has an excellent national reputation. I have a close friend who graduated about 7 years ago and her experience was really fantastic. She had a lot of fun, landed a great job upon graduation, and was very happy with her choice - this is someone from the east coast who was in a field that was about as non-science-y as you can get.

I will say, if your child is not into Greek Life, that does seem to drive the social scene and so it may not be the right school for someone who is opposed. I did not get the sense that it was overwhelming or that there were any issues with it (no hazing, etc) but just that most students did affiliate with a greek organization and that is how they made friends and found their niche. It also seems like many of the jobs are regional and the alums end up in Chicago, so that is something to consider too for anyone looking to go down a corporate track.[/quote]

Thanks for your input.  Very helpful.  What is your theory on why Purdue might not currently have cachet with the DC crowd?  Do you think that may change soon?[/quote]

Not he P, but I think they have a problem with in being in the middle of Indiana and do not have any experience in the mid-west.[/quote]
