In this broadcast, we'll be talking about all of the ways our students are getting involved on campus outside of their classes and enjoying their time at Purdue.
Now you might be thinking, "Isn't Purdue just a bunch of cornfields in the middle of nowhere? Is there really that much to do there?" Trust us when we say we get that question a lot, and trust us also when we say there absolutely really is so much to do here! As a Big 10 university with over 1,000 student organizations and students coming from all 50 states and over 100 countries, there are so many amazing people to meet, events to attend, and things to get involved in!
Our student panelists will talk about what they do for fun, share some of their favorite memories so far, and give their tips on how to balance academics with a thriving social life.
