We’ve been very fortunate with my daughter’s experience at Purdue but I will admit that I think much of why it is going so smoothly is because she’s in honors college and studying engineering. We have a very active FB group of parents and there was tremendous angst over housing since Purdue overenrolled by 800 students. Lots of students living on the fringes of campus in grad housing. Many parents also posted about scheduling glitches and issues with advisors. DD has been insulated from those issues entirely.
The worst part for us so far has been the lack of hotel rooms in the area and jacked up rates for parents weekend. We will pick a different weekend to visit next year.
