Review of Purdue University-Calumet Campus

from Gary, IN

Do you feel you’re 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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

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

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

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

Do you have any 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.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Purdue is great for International students and people who want to stay in a small town, but still get a university experience.
