Why I Chose Purdue University

Towards the end of my high school career, I was starting to think about my options for college.  Coming from a family that has had over 80 family members among four generations go to Purdue, Purdue was obviously a college that I wanted to check out.  I had been on tours of various college campuses but one kept standing out to me, Purdue.  I was very fascinated with all the options for involvement at Purdue, and all the opportunities for a student to participate in.  I quickly saw on my second college visit to Purdue that the class sizes were not as big as I had thought, and the environment at Purdue, especially the College of Agriculture, was what I was looking for.  Getting to see what the classrooms looked like at Purdue and getting to see what life as a Purdue student might be like was very enticing to me.  Once I got accepted, I very quickly accepted my offer of admission from Purdue and was excited to get to attend my dream college since I was 5 years old.  Now that I am at Purdue, I have enjoyed every minute, and have gotten to take advantage of some great opportunities at Purdue besides my education such as various clubs and organizations, intramural sports, studying abroad, and getting to cheer on our great basketball and football teams.  I hope that everyone reading this has gotten great opportunities from Purdue, and that prospective students get a chance to see just how great life as a Boilermaker can be with a college visit.  BOILER UP!
