We visited the Neil Armstrong statue in front of the physics building. Then we walked around the campus eventually ending up in the student union. The beautiful campus was alive with students walking to class and cherry blossom plants blooming in the spring. In the student union we saw the Edgar Degas statue collection, several art galleries, and the magnificent architecture. If you're looking for a nice place to spend a spring afternoon, Purdue University is a great place to do it.

The campus is pretty big and many buildings to honor alumnus, who had great efforts, and achievements throughout their lives. The food court was in the basement and omg so many good options to choose from. I completed my masters online and I wish I could of been on actual campus it is that beautiful! The food court reminds you of a mall with so many options to choose from. It also has a bowling alley for students and visitors, which I thought was very unique. The hotel they have on the Campus is just amazing! It's very clean and very good customer service. The campus is very elite and the boiler comes around throughout the campus to motivate the students and take pics! I am happy to be a alumni...BOILERUP!!!!!

A beautiful campus, value in engineering, medicine, agriculture, aviation, business, research, and…read moremore but Purdue has major issues (pun intended). My aim here is that critical paper we learned in COM114 (irony) - I wish I could tell my HS self to be smart and study a trade. Better pay than most college grads, security, freedoms, and options like living in a small or big city, and crucially, avoid debt that bankruptcy can't clear. Purdue cost me $54,000. Worth it NO.WAY. Sadly many end up like me. I can happily say for you smarties, engineers, mathstat, the like, you have good odds here. I'm talking to 1000s like me who try Purdue thinking it will offer options lesser colleges can't. NOT.TRUE. I started Industrial Design, then to Computer Graphics, then graduated in Financial Planning 11 semesters, 55+ faculty, I had things to work thru but don't mind me! this is where it gets good About 35% of the faculty were ideal, full on personality, what a world class education center should hold dear. Shout out to Mr. Haywood in Bus Law! A good many did ok but a good many did not. Dr. Ma in both Risk Management and Investment Strategies never graded HW, made us help with his research in each Lab, and we found (later on) that final grades were RANDOMLY assigned to fit the bell curve. This is hilarious right Also a Dr. Snuggs taught some classes yet only graded on paper formatting not content. She hinted at unresolved childhood issues and made comments out of place outside of therapy. Her teaching was low standards for a WWI orphanage. It's a hard deal to see your money funding issues you can't fix. Some will say that is life! Learning to deal with difficult people is smart training for work later on. But no way! I am paying big money for an education not for a pencil pusher to waste everyone's time. If I'm supposed to learn motivation and responsibility from people like them, I should've taken online classes and figured it out with way less expense. Purdue seems to be looking for those odd kids too lazy to teach themselves with adult courses online but also just motivated enough to walk to a class taught by a pinata. Meanwhile my sisters were at Ivy Tech, 14 the cost and not a complaint with the teachers there. Purdue is like an Apple Watch; sure it's cool but it'll be outdated next year and worthless in three but as long as no one says anything let's keep playing this game! OK issue #2 I recall students acquiring solutions to exams in German and a few other classes. My group's white paper in ENG420 was on cheating. We concluded Purdue (most large colleges) unintentionally are a masterclass to enable kids to get away with cheating. Most students are now in a GroupMe to share solutions to HW not to learn. There's a pervading dirty reality hidden behind cheaters, frat parties, suicides, and teachers - things we don't want to talk about. US News ranks Purdue highly (which is hardly an unbiased assessment according to - again - we ignore the reality and keep chewing the fat) yet where's the rankings that include police reports per undergraduates and how well trained one feels at a new job Purdue has little influence to make sure students are doing well and can access the support they need on a big lonely campus. I never had the support or resources a well funded and recognized school should; where is the proof my 5 years and $50,000+ were worth it But again, forget me! A few Purdue students commit suicide every year. That is awful. Put that on a billboard Pete. You're blowing your endowment on new buildings and marketing while a couple kids blow their life. I want everyone to succeed and become the best they can be. As a Purdue grad, I sadly cannot say Purdue is worth its recognition nor is there a guarantee for the career boost one may anticipate. What will it look like for Purdue grads in 10-20 years I see a suspicious generation growing up doubting how much they can learn in a classroom compared to on their own reducing Purdue's image and worth. At the least, Purdue needs to get back to ensuring classrooms don't waste time, student's psychological needs are met, and education quality is based on a broad spectrum not just those who succeed and answer a survey. No one should go along with the hype to rush weak (another bad pun sorry) into student debt cuz your friends are. Purdue might be right for you but chances are it's not.

It was definitely different than 25 years ago. I decided to try a new hobby every month in 2026. I'm so glad that I tried it. I was getting stressed because I couldn't get my bowl just right but the instructor was so helpful and got me together. The studio tour was also nice. Make sure to check them out if you're in the Fountain Square area. I can't wait to see the final product. I went solo but there were couples there. I didn't feel awkward going by myself. Everyone was super friendly. The 3rd bowl was an extra $5.

Every time my mom from out of town visits, I try to find something unique and fun to do. A coworker…read morerecently told me about this place and I thought it would be perfect! We signed up for the beginners night class from 7-9PM. It was $45 a person which included 2 of 3 pieces you make. I'm not gonna lie, we were both pretty nervous. Neither of us had ever taken a pottery class and we knew we were going to be bad at it. Turns out, we were pretty good!! And all 3 pots were suitable for glazing. The first 45 minutes to an hour is a guided instruction, then the last hour we are free to throw our other 2 balls of clay with the help of the instructor whenever we needed her. I believe her name was Katie and she was great! Funny, nice, and always willing to help. This is such a fun way to spend an evening. Makes for a good date night or I could see a bachelorette party too. Highly recommend this unique experience.

Midwest Permaculture is the premier resource for sustainable living in the Midwest climate…read more Permaculture is ethical and ecologically minded solutions. The Permaculture Design Course they offer leads you through every aspect and subject with ideas on how to improve your systems not only in your environment, but with inspiration about how you can go into this work in your community. Through the heart of permaculture's ethics of people care, earth care and future care, the table is set to work harmoniously with nature, and Bill and Milton are there to make it so relatable and understandable. I think this would be a great program for anyone to take, and could heartily recommend any offerings from Midwest Permaculture, money spent with them is money well spent, because it also goes out into the world and magnifies worthy projects they support around the world.

My friend had invited me to the open house that they were having at the Center for Sustainable…read moreCommunity (CSC). I was intrigued with the concept of living off the land and leaving a small footprint. I've always wanted to be able to do that but didnt quite know how. The location wasn't too difficult to get to from Chicago. It was about a 90 minute drive and there was little to no traffic on the way there. The directions on their website made it easy to find. https://midwestpermaculture.com/tour-midwest-permaculture-stelle-il-center-sustainable-community/ I was blown away by how different the community looked from the surrounding areas. On one side of the road was corn fields and open grassland. Then upon making a left turn, we're in modern suburbia only in this area most of the community is all about sustainable living. I was in awe by how easy it seemed to live a modern life while living off the land. It was great. The small community also seemed like something I wanted to be part of. A small neighborhood with friendly helpful neighbors. Maybe one day I'll be part of this secret cool society? Bill and Becky were wonderful hosts to us. Bill gave us a tour of the entire community and provided a thorough history of how things were as well as the future plans for the land. Lunch was delicious and tasted so fresh and I made sure I got a copy of the recipe so I could replicate it when I got home to feed my friends. They are doing great things here and I can't wait to come back in a few years to check out the progress of the community and the tiny camp homes they are building here. In the meantime I'm going to do some research about permaculture and learn as much as I can. Thanks for opening up my mind to this stuff and keep up the great work!
