Advice For Students

I would first validate their feelings and show my understanding that this is a big decision, and thinking about the future can be scary. With that, I would also say, it is important to put yourself in an environment where you feel at home. Purdue truly works hard to make sure every student has the resources to thrive. Not only does Purdue have many opportunities to meet new people and try new things, the university takes pride in their academics and sets every student up for success. I would also say that time flies when you are in college, so it is important to pick a school that you can look back and think of all the memories you’ve made….I know that I can do that once I leave Purdue!
