Admissions Counselors
Terry Gilbert
Associate Director of Admissions - National Recruitment
For most students, going to college is your first taste of independence.
I get it, I was there myself. But you will need to learn balance and accept accountability. Yes, there will be opportunities to sleep in, stay up until 4 a.m. with friends, eat whatever you want, join clubs, and attend sporting events! You are in charge of your schedule, BUT you have to take care of yourself, get to classes, study, stay out of trouble, and maybe hit the gym every once in a while. Otherwise… you may wind up back at your parents’ house.
What is your favorite Purdue location?
My favorite location on campus is Mackey Arena. There's no comparison to the roar of passionate Purdue fans after a fast break dunk or big three-point shot! We love our basketball teams!
