You’d be a fool to not consider it for your kids. [/quote][/b]

+1.  Our kid got in for aerospace engineering but chose UVA (cheaper, in the end a smart decision because she changed majors)..  Purdue has been brilliantly managed for a decade.  You can't say that about most colleges and universities today in america[/quote]

Agree.  Purdue is about the only college in the country that knows fiscal discipline. [/quote]

what have the done exactly?[/quote]

I don’t know.  You have to ask Mitch Daniels, former president of Purdue for 10 years, for magic formula.  Being a STEM heavy school, especially in engineering and CS, they do get a lot of corporate donations and sponsorships.  But other colleges do too.  Probably they don’t spend on extravagant stuff.  The new president, Mung Chiang, who took over in January of this year, said in an interview that the president’s salary is the same as a fully tenured professor.  Many university presidents (including public ones) are paid 7 digits now.  (Back in the late 80’s UCLA Chancellor Young was paid $150k per year and some thought it was too high then.  Even with inflation, it’s minuscule compared to how much college chiefs are paid today.  Sorry for digressing.)  Anyway, this new President Chiang was the dean of engineering school and ECE professor.  He had been a tenured professor at Princeton before he went to Purdue a few years ago.  There are interviews of him on YT.  (Ph.D from Stanford.)  Seems like a no-nonsense guy. [/quote]
