[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a son at Purdue (Engineering) and wow! It is HARD. The kids that are able to graduate and survive the STEM programs there are very smart, tough as nails, resilient and self-motivated. Nothing is handed to them and if anything there is grade deflation (son had one grade curved down 9 points!!!! because literally only 8% of the class was awarded an A). Many students who started in the program have either transferred out, changed majors or outright failed after being on academic probation. I love the no non-sense attitude of the school - reinforces the "you get what you get and you don't fuss a bit" I used to tell him as a preschooler. They get out of the program what they put into it. [/quote] sounds like fun atmosphere.[/quote]
