Around Town

There is ALWAYS something fun to do at Purdue. Whether it's a fountain run in the warmer months, sledding down Slayter Hill during the winter, rock climbing at the Co-Rec, or playing soccer on the intramural fields, you and your friends will never have to sit around wondering what to do with your free time.

Visit Purdue Memorial Union to hang out with friends or just to take a break from studying. Must try out all the unique restaurants around campus too!

Catch a movie. Go partying. go explore the wabash river. Take the train to chicago. Have a cookout.

When you are living in the dorms they provide you with a lot of options for things to do. You can use your student ID to rent just about anything from the front desk, which includes equipment for the pool tables and ping pong tables as well as a ton of movies. Purdue is also located near a bigger city, so you are close enough to go to the movies or bowling alley with friends. Since it is a big campus there are always events or parties to attend on the weekends. If you are involved with the Greek Life, or have friends who are, they almost always have functions going on. We also have a lot of big name artists play at Purdue every year and the tickets are reasonably priced for students. Big Ten sporting events are always fun to attend too, but unfortunately tickets are not free to students at Purdue. The best option if you are a big sports fan is to purchase a VIP pass that will get you into every game for every sport, but they sell out fast!

There are always loads of parties, dorm activities, organizations to join, and concerts going on during weekends, and lots of cool stuff happening in downtown Lafayette, just over the river from campus.

This is all up to you. We enjoy fountain runs, Frisbee football, golf, intramural sports such as football, basketball, going to the corec, volleyball, swimming, singing, concerts. There is a ton to do here.
