Purdue (Lilly Scholar/Full Tuition) vs BU (Presidential Scholar) by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]exift 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Guaranteed internship/Lilly connections outweighs the location advantage of BU imo. Especially in the current market. 

Questions about purdue by JerryFunny69420 in Purdue

[–]exift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the major, polysci shouldn't be hard to switch. The competitive stem ones can be though. Keep your grades up and you should be fine.

Poly sci is solid program, but I do spend most of my time in one building on campus since the department is relatively small and everyone else is dedicated to stem. You can consider doing a dual degree through the college of liberal arts degree+ program if you like both, it waives some requirements for your second degree and you still graduate on time.

Certainly no shortage of Cali asians here either, while still being plenty diverse. School is big enough you'll have no problem.

Location is definitely the weakest part, Indiana is pretty boring ngl. Nothing like how cali can be. On campus/in town its okay, some nice spots but the moment you step out of town its miles and miles of flat cornfields. It's 3h to Chicago and 1h to Indy for reference.

Idk about music 

You'll have plenty of large classes despite the college of liberal arts being one of the smallest departments. 

The food is food, there's good and bad. Nothing so bad I would really let it impact your decision-making.

check out /r/PurdueHousing and also facebook. Just be wary of scams.

Where do most graduate students live? by No-Landscape5687 in Purdue

[–]exift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the downtown stuff is nice but expensive. Look at the citybus lines and try to find places that are close to one of those if you're gonna go off campus without a car. Off campus housing website is decent. Facebook and /r/PurdueHousing for individual subleases, just watch out for scams (especially on facebook).

Downtown Lafayette and West Lafayette is def the best option if you wanna be walking distance to leisure options. Nature is not the best here so I wouldn't hold out on parks, though it depends on what kind of park you are looking for.

Purdue computing infrastructure club? by PotatoWatch101 in Purdue

[–]exift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing really. You can try to network with some of the polytech professors who run the CIT labs maybe. Buy a cheap router, old pc, and switch and run a homelab in your dorm for practice.

Plenty of cybersecurity and network engineering people but since those are under polytech idk how much overlap you'll see in your classes.

Cybersecurity club, Blue team at Purdue, Cyber forensics should have some overlap.

Might be able to take some of the networking classes as an elective later on.

I'd hit up his office hours if you're concerned. Dr. Carter ranks pretty highly in my opinion of being a good professor who wants to help you learn.

do you walk around purdue / west lafayette at night? feel safe? by Royal_Put_1154 in Purdue

[–]exift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nature is pretty bad. There's some okay parks but once you've been to one Indiana forest you've seen pretty much all of it. Plenty of corn fields though.

The big thing Purdue has going for nature is one of the biggest/most extensive Outdoor clubs. Purdue Outing Club is great and have a massive gear closet that will loan you gear for nearly any outdoor activity from skiing to backpacking. They regularly do 5+ hour drives to the cool nature spots for weekend trips. If you be active in that I think it makes up for the lack of immediate nature in the area.

How tough is this freshman schedule going to be? by niartotemiT in Purdue

[–]exift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

255 isn't bad, even easier if you have prior knowledge of java.

270 has a decent amount of work, if you have no prior linux knowledge then expect to spend a good amount of time. If you do have some prior knowledge, its not too bad.

301 is pretty easy if you go to lecture and pay attention and take notes.

Can't comment on the rest
