Angelina's Review

Review of Purdue University-North Central Campus

from LA Porte, IN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Hey High School Seniors. I am Angelina from La Porte. I have to say my first semester at PNC was an experience. I did learn many things, and surprisingly college is a blast. Most of my teachers are great, and I learned many things from there, and there are teachers who are not so good. You always have your bad and your good teachers. Work is pretty much like high school, but you are not as stressed to get your homework done, that is if you do not procrastinate. There are less hours put into school and you get several breaks here for your learning abilities. It is so much easier to focus. In high school, getting up early was hard; well, in college you can pick how many days of the week you want to go and what time you would like to come in.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am somewhat enjoying it here at Purdue North Central. I just wish there was more activities. In high school I was in band, pep band, and marching band, and now I do not do anything fun in school. I mean I have fun classes, but if PNC had something to make me stay I would.

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

Oh excellent pricing, if I had to do my freshman year all over again, I would still go to PNC. I saved a lot of money my first year of college, which is excellent because next year I have to transfer to finish my degree. With getting prerequisites out of the way, I will have more money to spend on transferring.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Buy books online. It helps seniors to buy books online. You save so much money. Great deals for new books on Amazon.com. Another tip for college. Come to class, do not procrastinate. Seniors you are paying money for these classes go to a class. Don't skip unless you are sick. Procrastinating get's you nowhere in college. I can honestly say, I am a big procrastinator myself, and I was so tired for my first semester trying to still get good grades. Another tip. Start your first year at PNC and then transfer. Seniors get your life together before you transfer somewhere big. Some people at PNC will be on the same boat as you, trying to find out what they want to do. It will be cheaper trying to find out what you want to do at PNC.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

* Degree Undecided * Having Problems choosing a school * Want a year to save money * Want a year to work close and go to school * Want to take prerequisites and transfer the next year
