I'm an incoming freshman (meche).. The CENG RLC will be either in red bricks or north mountain.
I have heard north mountain is way better but I feel red bricks isn't that bad ? ( This is what I feel after doing the virtual tour for both ) Can you guys tell how the dorms are in both? I'm super confused. Also do I even get a choice to pick between the two or will we be assigned any of the two
Hey guys, I'm super excited to come to Purdue this fall . I'm FYE and got off the waitlist a few days ago . Due to some circumstances I couldn't fill out the housing form and I'm now on the waitlist..
Does anybody know if living off campus limits your social life or even academics ( asking this cause off campus might be far from classes)? Im not sure if I'll get off the waitlist but I need to prepare myself for the possibility of living off campus :(
Hey guys, i recently got off the waitlist and have 3 weeks to decide . However I just saw that the deadline for the housing contract is 5 may .. i also missed the priority housing deadline ?
Am I cooked? I had already committed to Cal poly slo and I didn't expect to get into Purdue .. is it still possible to get a double ? I'm really stressed .. if possible can anyone please give any info on this
hey guys, I’ve been doing a ton of research on my options for Mechanical Engineering and I’ve kind of hit a wall trying to decide between Purdue and Cal Poly SLO.
I am very fortunate to have been accepted to both these schools. Cal poly has been my dream school but its 10k/yr more expensive than purdue and im not sure if its worth it. I'd like to work in CA after my bachelors if possible in tech or robotics but im okay with working in the midwest too..
From what I understand:
**Cal Poly SLO pros**
The “Learn by Doing” approach seems amazing for hands-on experience
Strong reputation specifically for undergrad engineering
Smaller classes and more access to labs/projects early on
A lot of students seem to graduate very job-ready because of the practical focus
**Purdue pros:**
Extremely strong engineering reputation overall especially for Mechanical Engineering..
Big-name school with a good alumni network
Strong research opportunities and access to large-scale engineering projects
A lot of major recruiters and strong internship pipelines with top companies
im OOS for both. since im a US citizen living abroad i dont have the option to go to a state school. i would have loved that option..
i would really appreciate any insights or info for both the colleges..
