With home not far from campus, I always felt Purdue was so special.  Growing up I went to Purdue basketball games, football games, and even a few Bug Bowls. When it came time for me to choose which college I would go to, it should have been a no-brainer. News flash, it was not a no-brainer. I thought going to Purdue would be too close to home and I would not have the chance to grow away from home. I applied to numerous out-of-state colleges where I thought I would want to go, but when it came down to it I decided on Purdue. I came to this decision because I realized that although Purdue was close to home, I could still grow and be a college student. I am now a junior and I have lived on campus all three years, and I can tell you that campus felt like a different home. If you are also not too far from Purdue and facing this same issue yourself, don\u2019t worry. Purdue felt like a different home when I moved into the dorm but in a good way. I have been surrounded by friends, supportive faculty, and others who are going through college too. I have been able to grow in ways I didn\u2019t think were possible, and I am sure glad I chose Purdue. After all a home-cooked meal is never too far away. As always, Boiler up!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been a Purdue fan since I was a little girl. With home not far from campus, I always felt Purdue was so special.
