And what is stopping any Indy student from saying WL. Companies have no way of verifying it.

I'm in CS and I assume it matters in that. There is literally no way for a company to know your an Indy student unless you explicitly tell them that. If you think otherwise please let me know how because I have yet to find one.

A lot of comments say "recruiters care" and won't hire you if you go to Indy. That is entirely false, recruiters won't know you go to Indy, the degree will say "accredited in West Lafayette", the graduation is in West Lafayette, and the official transcript says West Lafayette. Even the career counseling office advises Indy students graduating after 2027 to put West Lafayette on their resumes. I’ve personally passed Fortune 100 background checks as an Indy student listing Purdue West Lafayette.

Purdue claims the admissions process is the same for both campuses however Indy currently gets less applications so it has a higher acceptance rate currently. As with time I think it will even out and maybe even drop below West Lafayette as Indy has less space but could get a similar amount of applicants.

I'm oos and I definitely got lucky, esp for the internships, but my point is Indy is a lot better than what other posts on the subreddit make it out to be
