Class Advice and Sports

I will be a senior, with one semester left, after finals are complete next week. I am looking forward to Purdue reducing restrictions on clubs, classes, gatherings, and most of all Sports! I have didn’t mind watching Purdue sports before college, but I really came to love them after I purchased the Boarding Pass my freshman year. This allowed me to go to all the home football games and many of the basketball games (I love the basketball games in Mackey the most). Until my sophomore year I had never seen Purdue basketball lose in Mackey, likely because we get loud and cheer our team on better than any other college. I paid $20 extra for the Paint Crew tickets and boarding pass last year and this allowed me to go to all the home basketball games as well and sit in the official Paint Crew lower bowl section. For any incoming freshman reading this, make sure you check out the Boarding Pass and Paint Crew. This isn’t for everyone, but make sure you do attend at least one Purdue Sporting event or play on an Intramural Team. I also enjoy watching the Purdue Volleyball and I’ve heard baseball is good too! As for class advice, make sure you get all your basic Purdue classes done early, but also look for different and interesting classes as you go throughout your time at Purdue. I’m trying a few that I don’t know exactly what they will entail (AGEC 425 – Estate Planning and ASM 201 – Construction and Maintenance), but I hope they will be beneficial. Most of all make sure you ask trusted friends (especially upperclassmen) about these classes you are looking into. They can help you decide how beneficial they will be to you!
