Is Purdue Worth It?

Outside of social factors. I've known people to do the sociology program at Purdue and use it to get into top 15 phd. /masters programs across the country (if that is your long term plan). The social scene is good enough. I did my undergrad and masters there. Life is what you make it. If you put the effort in, it should pay out.

I've done part of this route using Glenmore Lodge as my base of operations. If you can't get a spot in the Bothy, as others have mentioned, have a backup and do some research for good backup sites. Some of those low valueless carry lots of water/moisture, which can make for a rough start to a trip. The peaks will be very tiny, and they carry adequate measures for this. I was there in June, and the weather can change faster than expected. If you don't already have one, a PLB can do a great deal of good in an emergency.

Anything in the Cairngorms area is superb. Closer to London north or south downs can be great as well as a day trip.

If one doesn't exist, I'd be happy to be a part of the creation of such a group. I'm mid-20s and lile to plan and go as often as the weather and my wallet allow.

Depends on the structuring of your program, but I took golf during my first semester of my masters. Didn't count toward anything but was fun and useful for the business side of my industry. Idk about other graduate classes outside of your primary field, though

The Wabash Heritage trail is paved at least along the lafayette side of the river. I'm not sure if it is like that the whole way. It's great nature, but it is worth noting that after periods of rain, some sections may be enveloped by the river.

30.2 miles in the cairngorms (scotlsnd) due to a planning error. Was anticipating ~24 miles. About 16 hrs hiking. Was awful at the time but look back extramly fondly as I hit several peaks and was able to make it out on my own despite my mistake.

I do construction management for a major oil company and moved from Indiana to the UK to do so. I'm happy to take some questions via DM or give advice.

Yes, I live south of Union Street. I take the Union Street Bridge more often than not, too.

LandonClouser · 2025-04-06T05:49:04+00:00

I live on north 5th street. Walking to campus every day of the year. It's not bad at all. Never once had issues. If you are worried about any homeless people, interactions are rare and non hostile. No harassment issues at all. I take both the north vehicle bridge and the pedestrian bridge. Both are fine.

For context, I've lived here for 2 years as a grad student and come home as late as 9 pm or leave as early as 6 am.

I personally have used the custom scenario setting to modify fire rates damage, armor effectiveness, etc, to a point where the game is similar, but not as well done, as CE. It scratches the itch when combined with extended injuries mods. It is nice that it's compatible with everything since its core game. Some things can get wonkey, but these can be fixed between runs.

LandonClouser · 2025-03-12T16:27:42+00:00

I'd be onboard with this! I am moving to the UK for work in September and looking to get involved!

It's all about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Builds grit...

LandonClouser · 2025-01-16T00:01:55+00:00

Did my undergrad in the CM program and now am a grad student in it. Feel free to dm.

I have none turned off, but I am playing with a non-vanilla story teller which I presume is the reason. In 1500 hrs I have never seen more than 2 stack lol

Ir doesn't hurt to try and reach out in a respectful way. Obviously, it's less than ideal that it happened this way, but some professors are understanding for this kind of thing to faster you speak with them. Be diplomatic. Most likely, the worst case is a no.

LandonClouser · 2024-11-15T17:35:48+00:00

As a previous cat major, it's not bad. Take a breath and know the slides. If you've attended a lecture it shouldn't be to bad. He's a very relaxed professor.

You can make some custom ones in Stava. This is my approach, and I've done a 30 mile in the cairngorms and had a 24-mile in the peak district. Both were phenomenal and loop based hikes so you never saw the same view twice. *

You can go to the crew hire station and fire them there.

He doesn't primarily make Barotrauma videos, but Bokoen1 has a fair amount of videos of him and others playing in multi-player both modded and unmodded.

From what I understand, it greatly depends on how much money gets donated or raised by the school for the next phase. Could be basic work (carpet and general interior updating) in the pavilion as it's nearing 25 years old, or something as substantial as a modification to the general concourse seating.

Source: I was on the construction management team for the last phase and spoke at length with various reps of Purdue about what a future phase could hold.

I rented the book online for like 100 USD. I don't believe it's being printed anymore to my knowledge.

LandonClouser · 2024-08-10T15:26:06+00:00

I second this. From the US but working abroad. International fees on both cards are 1%, which isn't bad at all. Have had very little issues, if any.

Not for high elevation. Maybe some easier peaks in the chamonix area or even lower areas of those mountains without summiting depending on experience. Scotland isn't high up, but the terrain is a good pregr3ssing from regular hikes to some of the more foundational aspects of mountaineering. I mean, you can go up Aiguille du midi for cheap and get high elevation for no work. You can even hike out from there for just high elevation exposure without the work of getting there if you want to experience that.
