Congrats! My daughter is a Boilermaker…


Purdue is a great school and just seems to do everything in a way that feels… 1st class.

When visiting, I highly recommend staying at the Union Club, at the corner of campus. It’s within walking distance of all the dorms, etc., and some great restaurants including triple X. Seems like almost all the other hotels are all the way out at interstate 65.

Make sure your daughter has a really high-quality winter coat! Even though we live in the Midwest our daughter called us the first October she was at Purdue and begged us to take her coat shopping because their weather is more like Chicago than like Indy.

I highly recommend your daughter participate in the weeklong program for freshmen called Boiler Gold Rush. It’s not mandatory so a lot of people don’t do it but my daughter made friends that week that she kept her whole time in West Lafayette, and also learned how to get around town, campus, etc. Time and money well spent.

Sorry for the random suggestions but hope they are helpful. If I think of other things when I have a little more time I will add them to this thread.
