What is your favorite part about engineering?


My favorite part about engineering is being able to innovate and create new things that will be able to help the world.

What is your favorite class you have taken and why?

My favorite class I’ve taken so far was a computer graphics technology class where I got to learn
how to use the software programs that civil engineers use in their careers because it gave me an
idea of what I might want to do in my career.

What is the best thing about Purdue?

The best thing about Purdue is all the opportunities that are available and the community of people
who are always willing to help.

Some of my favorite memories have been hanging out with my sisters and I’m so lucky to have the
community and friends that I do.

What sorts of things are you involved in on campus?

I’m involved in Phi Sigma Rho, the only engineering sorority on campus, and Higher Ground Dance Company which raises money for dance therapy for sick children.

What is the best advice you received before coming to Purdue?

The best advice I received was to get involved as much as possible on campus and make the most of your college experience.

What is something you wish you had known when going through the college search process?

I wish I had known about all the resources that Purdue has to offer in terms of academics.

What is some advice you would give to incoming engineering students at Purdue?

Take advice of all the resources available to you on campus.

Understanding Purdue Housing

By -

One of the many concerns incoming freshmen have is what to do regarding their housing options. In addition to the roommate selection process, you may be interested in seeing your on-campus options in terms of amenities and the communities available within the building. For example, when I accepted my admission to Purdue as a freshman, I knew I was interested in a standard double that I had experienced at a summer college program. To ensure my University Residences housing, I applied to Vertically Integrated Projects so that I would be able to pursue a research project as a freshman while also guaranteeing my housing within Earhart Hall through the connected learning community. For more information on learning communities, read our previous blog! Many freshmen will live in a residence hall, even if they are not in a specific learning community. Now, as a Resident Assistant or RA in Earhart Hall, I have been trained on the term “residence hall”; our halls go beyond a traditional “dormito...

A very (sub)objective review of dining options at Purdue

By -

Jenn and her friends after the Thankgiving dinner Food is an integral part of our day. For some people, the very first thing they do in the morning is eat breakfast. I personally prefer my cup of coffee to a stack of waffles. Nonetheless, food has the power to pick up a bad mood, enhance a good mood, and even ease the stress you are feeling about exams and homework. The awareness I have of how food impacts my mood is recently found since I started college in August. at home I usually came home to my mom or dad making something delicious in the crockpot. Suddenly I arrive at college and there are so many options that it can get overwhelming at times to figure out what to eat. Navigating the dining options at college did not seem like something I should have been worried about, yet it was something that took a month of experimenting to perfect.  The key is knowing where to go and what is consistent. I decided to help you out and give you some insight into how I view each dining optio...
