Purdue University

I went to a football game!! I want to go to college there!! I LOVE Purdue!!

I was at the Purdue vs Central Michigan football game, and we won, of course.

Boiler Up Bitches.

Yippee…Football games are a blast. If you came here for a visit, get the Dwayne Pervis Burger at XXX (restaurant-not porn related). If you came here for an engineering degree, prepare to work your butt off and drink your sorrows away.

This was my first choise for college. I had a full scholorship, since I was going to school in Indiana. But my Sophmore year of high school, I moved to Florida with my mom. I have a lot of friends who have been there, some who have graduated, and they will all tell you its a wonderful school.

...but they don’t party harder than FSU does. (haha… I had to!)

get the flaming cheese at chauncey.
and listen to am jazz radio.

Hot, humid, yuck

I’m writing this review from San Jose California, where I’m currently on an internship. I’ve spent a total of 9 months on the west coast in two separate trips to this city, and I have to admit that I still haven’t found a happy medium between the friendliness of the midwest and the cultural diversity of the west coast. It seems that at Purdue and my hometown of the Chicago suburbs I had no problem making friends and having a good time, but any real cultural exposure required a trip to a big city.

San Jose, on the other hand, has an awesome cultural scene (check out Japantown, the San Jose Museum of Art, as well as nearby Palo Alto). However, this cosmopolitan atmosphere comes with a price. My coworkers are gifted people but we’re almost too diverse (hailing from everywhere from Kashmir, India to the Middle East) to find a lot of common ground with each other.

When I first got to Lafayette it drove me nuts that the town had so much of a “country” feel too it. But after being out in the West Coast I have to admit that overall I had much more fun hanging out with close friends at Hunter’s Pub than I did walking through San Francisco by myself.

I have no doubt that I could make plenty of lifelong friends out here given more time. But the thing that I’ve learned is that it’s the people you share experiences with, not the location that they take place in, that makes a town fun to live in.

I went to about 83 billion sporting events

I spent 2 semesters of graduate studies at Purdue. It was a lot of work, but still a great time.

I LOVE PURDUE! I am currently attending the university and the more I am here the more I am proud to be a boilermaker… :) I think I know a ton about the campus and the history so if you’ve got questions, I’ve got answers! Hail Purdue!
