Best advice going into college

It’s okay to feel a little nervous or anxious about going to college! Like many students, this is the first time you’ll be living away from your family and friends. College can bring about a lot of change in your life which can feel a bit scary and overwhelming at times. Lean on your community and don’t be afraid to share how you’re feeling with your peers. You may be surprised at how many of them are feeling the same way!

Favorite Purdue experience

Attending my first basketball game at Mackey! A friend of mine won free tickets to sit with the Purdue Suit Guys, about four rows up from the court. Purdue won (Woohoo!) and I still have the sunglasses I got from the game!
