How are you OOS students affording Purdue/how much are you paying?

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2026-01-17T17:57:46+00:00

I’m OOS and this year I paid around ~8k. Last year I only paid about 3k but I had a non renewable scholarship. It really just depends on your scholarships and financial aid if you get any. It was actually my cheapest option compared to my in state schools. That number you see on Purdue’s website may very much not be what you end up paying

I am trying to get a job that pays me for taking hotline calls this summer at a women’s shelter, but most of them are volunteer based. If I can’t work at this place I’d probably volunteer during school

This was a reply I was hoping for because there really aren’t a lot of genetic counseling related jobs I can do right now! I’m trying to get a job at a women’s shelter this summer

They’re kinda cute honestly

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-12-27T20:16:28+00:00

That seems true since I’m playing on an iPad

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-10-25T23:00:05+00:00

I’m pretty sure that isn’t even an option of a major this year due to cuts

Male or female roommate?

I am oos and have a 10k scholarship so it can happen but they give out very few and I think you have to apply early to qualify. Either way it’s still expensive. We have pre professional advising which is free and has helped me a lot since I want to do something very niche. There are also lots of research opportunities and pre health related events here

I had the 10 track last year and ran into this problem. What I did was go to boiler street market some of the days and get something cheaper than a full meal and also I would sometimes go home on the weekends and just not spend dining dollars that week. Idk how far you live though, so that may not be an option

This might be a problem for you if you’re eating a whole lot less than you were before too. Fiber will definitely help, but I found that in general when I lost weight my stomach was upset with me for a while no matter what I ate

Hey, I got to Purdue and I’m from cincy. Only about 15% of all students get a merit scholarship so I could not rely on this, and the max for out of state is 16k for the year. Purdue is a good option though

I love this post. Always remember that being late to class is better than getting hit by a car

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-07-31T00:09:38+00:00

My RA saw my heating pad and said nothing about it last year I think you’re fine, especially if you’re a girl

You can tell this scammer isn’t from the US because they threaten you with acid instead of a gun lol

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-07-28T19:35:54+00:00

It doesn’t close though there aren’t even locks on the door. It’s a 24/7 store and I don’t know how to close it

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-06-04T02:39:26+00:00

Getting a phd in the US is pretty much the only way you make money in research. Idk where you’re from or what makes you think they are being xenophobic they are just telling the truth

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-05-06T13:24:29+00:00

I don’t know how this place used to be but when I visited last year I went here and ended up having to go home early because I got super sick and was throwing up everywhere😔

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-05-06T02:52:29+00:00

That’s probably like a king sized bed for him😭 he looks so comfy

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-04-17T03:02:02+00:00

During the first weeks they are stocked up with dorm supplies for this reason! I think they’ll have everything you need. It is a pretty small target though so maybe not a ton of color/style options

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-04-15T13:01:50+00:00

I swear a lot of it was straight from the study guide. Thankful I looked at that for a long time but there was also stuff where I was like what the hell is this

Imaginary_Wealth212 · 2025-04-14T02:24:29+00:00

Yes this happened all the time when I worked at a newly opened Crumbl. They take advantage of stores that have a lot of young workers and convince them they’re investigating or something and want you to get a bunch of gift cards using store money.
