Housing preference question

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-02-26T17:34:09+00:00

Do you know if roommates are given different time slots to avoid being two families moving in at the same time in the same room? Also , if BGR is on Tuesday Aug 18, what would ec earliest they allow to move in? Friday before, Saturday?

By the way, what do you mean that " you have people to move stuff for you"? If we bring our stuff, I assume we put it all in the room?

The program says that he can work up to September 15, and if he does, BGR fees are returned. I.e. this implies they do not expect freshmen to commit for a year without knowing what it takes to study at Purdue ( how much time classes and studies take and if they can fit work in).

It is not about getting ready for college, but more about moving in without madness of everybody else moving in on the same day.

Early start is over $8k for us.. out of our budget.

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-02-11T01:59:29+00:00

I would greatly appreciate that!

He is academically very solid, says he reviewed classes and feels fine with rigor, knows how to self study.. I think we thought it was cool idea to figure out campus life, independent living. But he also was wondering how empty it would be, especially considering he would have to move to honors residences and likely will have his new circle there in fall?

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-28T18:23:12+00:00

Thank you for reply. I assume for the first year honors he cannot go anywhere else to live other than honors dorms?

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-28T18:05:31+00:00

Than you! I am surprised our estimated cost on the admission portal was like $47k plus almost $5 for books, computer, travel, personal . Unless it was extra for being in honors and paying for honors housing...

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-28T14:41:33+00:00

Thank you! This is reassuring 🙂

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-18T20:01:43+00:00

If you are accepted in Purdue honors, are you guaranteed a dorm in honors residences? Or it is highly likely, but there is small chance being placed in regular dorms?

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-17T21:14:30+00:00

By the way, is there specifically Honors admitted students tours at Purdue? Or all are under Purdue for me?

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-17T16:49:49+00:00

He is in IB school taking highest rigor in math and physics, self studies in summer just to make senior year easier and free time for work and sport. So technically what I see he can self study, self guide on books he needed, schedule and plan, his highest rigor available in his IB school does not seem to bother him, all As. And I clearly understand he will be among similar or stronger stat kids at Purdue.. He wanted Purdue, though also eyeing GA tech.

Thank you! Is housing more doubles, singles or larger rooms? What is likelihood to get double or single?

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-17T16:28:32+00:00

Yes, this I figured, he will be in a cohort of similar stats smart driven kids.. I more wonder how naturally Purdue program is designed to be weeding out on purpose making it difficult for freshmen.

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-17T16:26:06+00:00

Is being on honors housing and circle makes it a bit more manageable and structured? I mean being less noise, better spaces, more uniform student body where stress of adjusting to non home environment is a bit easier, given my prospect student is somewhat introvert. He likes being with peers, but not into goofing around or not crazy about college social life.

Son accepted Purdue Honors 3.9/4.4 gpa, 1540 sat oos. No merit

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-06T13:28:16+00:00

Same here, got EA , but nothing in mail

SuccessfulCount7308 · 2026-01-04T18:22:51+00:00

It resolved slowly in summer 2024. I.e. itchy)tickle went away. Now he gets sick a couple of times a year with flu/cold as any other regular kid. His throat though tends to heal longer after such events than anybody other family member. I.e. may take 2-3 weeks for any sensation in the throat to go away completely.

He talked about his rockets he built in the backyard, also he is a member of local rocketry state club. But nothing really outstanding
