    Am learning a lot

    While there has been a professor here and there that was not up to par, overall my learning experience here has been extremely enjoyable. In talking to my high school classmates that went to other schools, it seems that regardless of what school you attend there will be those occasional tenured professors that know they don't need to perform to their greatest ability in order to keep their pay check. All in all I think that the majority of the professors here care about their job and more importantly their students. While it is refreshing to have the occasional young professor, on average expect your professor to be a male with a lot of experience.
    Am enjoying being here

    While a lot of my friends attending schools away from home think that I am missing out on the real college experience I beg to differ. I know that my studies here will provide a degree just as useful in attaining a job as theirs and the fact that I wasn't partying every night of the week means my graduating GPA will be much higher than if I had studied somewhere else and gotten the real college experience.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition for any Illinois state school is much higher than this and the smaller, more intimate class sizes are preferred over stadium sized pre-req classes where you can barely understand the TA and forget about the professor even recognizing your face, let alone getting to know you as a student. While the tuition is low, the professors actually care about their students ability to succeed which is priceless. The school provides a lot of technical support, a great gym on campus, and an awesome tutoring center in case students need help in any subject.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't rule this one out just because it's close to home. Don't torture yourself with debt that you will be struggling to pay off when you graduate, instead think seriously about attending this school.

    If you really care about the status of the name on your diploma, I would highly suggest studying here if just for a year. The majors are intended to be able to transfer to West Lafayette, but only the first year.
    Great for these types of students

    Students that don't care about the status of the college they earn their diploma from. Students that intend to transfer to Purdue West Lafayette but want to get a cheap year out first while living at home. Adults going back to earn a degree. Anyone that wants to take a class here or there in a subject of interest, maybe without even the desire to obtain a degree.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you join at least some extracurricular activity while at Purdue Calumet University, like Student Government or the school paper, for this looks really good on your resume when applying for jobs, especially on campus. PUC now has a co - curricular transcript, so this is an extra incentive to join student organizations at PUC.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who love to learn in an intimate classroom setting that is small, where every student can be one - on - one with their college instructors, and recieve specialized attention.

    Am learning a lot

    With the small class sizes, it is definitely easier to learn. If I have a problem, I approach the professor, and they are very easy to talk to. They tell me how I can improve and what I should focus on. The tutoring center at the school is very helpful as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love how comfortable the atmosphere of the school is. I have gotten to know many people and many professors. Everyone is very helpful and kind. I feel very welcomed. My classes are engaging and are the perfect size, and I enjoy all the clubs there are to offer.
    Bang for the buck

    This school has a good price for tuition. I recommend it especially to Indiana residents and even Illinois residents, because the tuition is cheaper than most schools in Illinois. It is easier to save money and graduate with less debt by attending this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! There are so many extracurricular activities to choose from, and anyone can start a club as long as there are 3 members. Get to know your professors! The professors are very approachable and care a lot about the students. The class sizes are small, so it makes getting to know the professor and your classmates easier as well.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great school for both Indiana and Illinois students. The tuition is not expensive at all and is cheaper than Illinois tuition. Students who like smaller class sizes and approachable professors should definitely attend this school. Students who love to get involved with extracurricular activities should also apply as there are so many things to choose from.

    Am learning a lot

    I've definitely learned things here that I couldn't have at the colleges in my city. There are classes offered that I couldn't take some places. All of my teachers have been really helpful and hands-on. The small class sizes, for the most part, add to the hands-on feel as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love that a really nice college is in my area. I can still enjoy the college experience without completely moving away.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is moderately priced. It's low in comparison to a lot of colleges, though. I think with all the things the school gives back (with all the free events they hold), I suppose it's worth what you pay. On a negative, I do dislike that they charge you around $60 every semester for parking, whether you actually have a car or not. I think that's a bit unreasonable. Overall, I do think
    Tips for prospective students

    Try to get involved with the on campus activities. They're really nice and you get to meet the other students, and sometimes faculty. I would also suggest joining a club or organization.

    Am learning a lot

    This school offers many programs. I don't think I'm learning very much yet, but I expect that to change once I get my prerequisite classes done.
    Am enjoying being here

    The classes are okay and nothing special to be honest. But I never expected school to be fun.
    Bang for the buck

    I agree with the other person that it's ridiculous for students to be charged for parking whether we even drive or not. And I was going to sign up for summer courses, but they got canceled because I couldn't pull $1300 out of thin air for just two classes. While I understand that it's cheaper than most schools, it's still too much for me at times. And I hear tuition will be raised to pay for the $115,000 the school recently spent renovating the campus bookstore.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a pretty decent school. If this school has a program you're interested in and you can afford it, there's no reason why you shouldn't go. Don't expect your advisors or anyone really, to do much for you, you'll have to figure out what you need to do yourself most of the time.
    Great for these types of students

    People looking to go back to school, working students, people looking to finish prereqs and transfer somewhere else, people who don't know what they want to do with their lives but need to do something, anyone with an independent personality that wants to get a degree.

    Did learn a lot

    During the first few semesters you might be discouraged due to prereq's you need to take, but rest assured! Once you start taking your core classes is when you'll begin meeting people who have similar interests as you and the professors are a lot more personal. I've had instances where I literally taught myself in class because of the professor's poor teaching methods, but it's just part of college, really. You're not going to agree with all of your professors views and especially with their teaching style. The best way to learn a lot is to personally WANT TO learn a lot.
    Did enjoy being here

    I loved the last 2-3 semesters at PUC because of the professors I began working for. I became a TA and became close with a few of the faculty members here and developed life-long friendships with them.
    Bang for the buck

    PUC is incredibly affordable compared to other universities. A lot of students from NWI choose to say at PUC their first year or two to save money, but then transfer to West Lafayette during their junior and senior years. Then again, I've known people who have came from WL back to PUC due to monetary problems.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you pay attention to your plan of study and do not rely on you advisor to baby you through college. Stay full-time otherwise you won't graduate in four years. Work on campus if you can find a job. Become friends with your professors because they will want to help you succeed (hopefully). Go into PUC knowing that you're going to hate the food distributor here because they are overpriced and offer crappy food. Seriously. Bring a lunch or go out for lunch.
    Great for these types of students

    Commuters, students wanting to save money, students who want a more intimate connection with their professors and classmates.

    The professors really become involved in your learning process and over the years they get to know you. It's a very good feeling knowing that a professor cares about how you do in your college career.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being apart of the extra-curricular activities here makes the experience very worth while. The small college feel is great for making good friends fast.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm out of state and I'm still paying less than other Chicago universities, enough said.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you care about how you do in college and what your going to do after wards, this University cares too.
    Great for these types of students

    Looking to slow down but still be close to the city. Great for those who are undecided, freshman counselors will help a lot.

    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely need to branch our and introduce yourself to new people. It is also a good idea to join clubs such as student government, or if playing sports like baseball or softball become involved. If this is going to be your freshman year do not think just because you are staying home you can slack off because it will come back around and bite you in the butt. So study and if you have any other free time it is easy to find a job in that area or join the health club. There are also gorgeous apartments across the street so if you wanted to stay right near campus it is possible!
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to stay home, work, and focus on academics this is a great school for you!

    The campus is a very beautiful and very inviting place to be, I feel. There is always a quiet place to sit down and concentrate. The only thing I do not like about the campus is how a little spread out it is.
    Tips for prospective students

    A good tip of advice I can give to a prospective student is to not get overwhelmed. I took my first year at a small community college and then transferred to this massive university. I can be easy to feel swallowed by all of the buildings and people but just remember to relax.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor really depends on not only the instructors you are assigned to but also depending on chosen course of study.
    Dorm Life

    I, myself, do not live in a dorm on campus but from what I have heard from others the dorms are very nice. I know they are a new accommodation to the campus.
    Food and Dining

    In my opinion the food and snacks made available by Purdue is really good. There are a couple snack shops placed arround the campus that sell everything from soups and pastries (freshly made from a local bakery) to fountain pop and smoothies. And its nice because if you want something different there are plenty of restaurants around the campus to choose from.
    What to do for fun

    Sometimes I see people out in the field next to the dorms flying kites or playing football. There are also lots of things to find to do beyond the campus.
    Bang for the buck

    I hear from friends who attend other schools that have a tuition three times the size of mine so I personally think it's worth it.

    The academics at Purdue are difficult enough that you do need to study a lot. There are really tough courses and a lot of different majors to choose from.
    Dorm Life

    I live off-campus but I have been inside the dorms. They are all new buildings. The common area and rooms are really nice, clean, decorative.
    Food and Dining

    There are a lot of choices around campus. The cafeteria food isn't too bad. They also have Starbucks and handmade sandwiches. They prices is a little bit ridiculous.
    What to do for fun

    There are fun things to do like, play pool, watch T.V., or just hang out. There are also Wii games the set up that you can join in on that I love.
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely worth the money considering the help they offer and the choices in major you have. Lots of financial aid and other scholarships.
    Clubs and Activities

    Lots of clubs to join but if there is not a club that has been started they will let you and help you start your own club. There are intramural sports too.
    Greek Life

    There are sororities and fraternities to join but I don't know anything about them.

    The campus seems pretty safe. Campus police patrol all over the campus and there are phones and buttons that are set up all over campus in case you need assistance.

    Am learning a lot

    This is my first college experience, and it's tough work. If you balance note-taking with reading the textbook, you can get a decent GPA. The teachers I've met are all kind and all have a sense of humor. They make themselves readily available and will spend time to answer questions--even in a large lecture hall. They point you to where you can get help, they give you review questions, and they even offer advice on how to manage your time and when to do assignments. Without them, I would've been at a complete loss for where to even begin. They create a positive environment and you never feel intimidated. At the end of the day, you still have to put in individual effort to learn some of the harder material.

    I have made many friends and thoroughly enjoy the facilities offered. There are computers everywhere and a lot of lounges to hang out and talk. You can buy snacks and drinks or go and read in the library. There are movie nights, game rooms, clubs, and so much more. It's really everything I expected and more. I attend help sessions held by peers, and can meet with mentors and such fairly frequently and easily. Basically, everything is at the tips of your fingers.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm paying ~$9000 a semester for 17 credit hours. I saw far worse tuitions when I applied to other schools. Again, the school offers a lot, and a lot of the things they hold are readily available to anyone. No one really tells you what you can and can't do. You're an adult and they give you freedom. The facilities are nice and you can tell the school provides the best that it can for the students. I have yet to come across a situation in which I could not get help for a class or meet a mentor/faculty member to discuss my plans of study. Some parts of the school could be made to look nicer, but the overall feeling of openness is always there.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your instructors personally and form study groups. Don't miss class and make sure to actually learn material and not just attend lectures. Don't get caught up with all the activities that go on during your class time. Always prioritize class and you'll find there is still time to hang out and get free food (sometimes) and such provided by the school on certain days. You won't have to strain yourself to get by, but don't expect to get great results for a minimal effort.
    Great for these types of students

    Gamers, readers, outgoing people...just about anyone really. If you don't like being around people and enjoy peace and quiet, there are places to relax. Likewise, there are places to be among crowds and mingle.

    Am learning a lot

    Purdue University - Calumet is a small, commuter college that is able to provide one-on-one experience due to the small classroom sizes and professors willing to work with students. You get out of it what you put into it.

    The campus has a nice, small town feel to it and all of the staff and faculty are willing to help you; all you have to do is ask.

    Not as high priced as other colleges in the area.
