First class education that comes cheaper than many Ivy league schools.

Even though I pay the out-of-state tuition rate along with professional student fees, I could not be more confident in my decision to invest in an education from Purdue University. What I have learned from my past three years there is how much people respect and trust Purdue graduates. I know that I am making so many strong connections while studying at Purdue and that I will find a great job upon graduating. The experiences and opportunities that Purdue provides are what make the cost of attending completely worth it in my opinion. Also, there is recent talk about a two year tuition freeze which is great news as far as making it more affordable for students.

Purdue has so many resources available. Many professors are among the elite in the field, so it is usually interesting to listen to them speak about a topic they love

This was actually the cheapest of all the schools I applied to (counting their financial aid package). The aid was generous and met almost all my financial need.

Purdue can be sort of expensive, but the experiences are 100% worth the money. There are also plenty of scholarship and financial aid opportunities that can help out. I personally think that you can't put a price on an educational experience like the one you'll encounter at Purdue University.
