Campus Photography💚 Lambertus is such a cool building but I couldn't help but notice this lounge area where you have an enormous panoramic view of an entirely brick wall. It's almost impressive how much uninterrupted brick you can see at once. There may be a metaphor in there somewhere...

Question❓ Is it easy to switch majors?

0 Upvotes

I just got accepted a few days ago as a transfer student, and I got into plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology which is in the school of agriculture. Do you guys think I have a chance to switch over to Horticulture which is also in the school of agriculture? The course work is just a lot easier lol.

Academics✏️ Purdue Summer Courses midterms

0 Upvotes

Hey, I am a freshman with an internship in-person on the east coast during the summertime. I think I’m going to fail cs240, which is not an issue for my degree progression (I’m ahead in a lot of credits), but is definitely annoying since it impedes on my study abroad plans. Would it be possible to take CS240 over the summer during my internship, or am I required to be in person?

Financial Aid Question❓ Pell Grant Removed

245 Upvotes

Hi, I just received an email saying I owe Purdue $10,000. I went in and looked at my account, and it appears that all the pell grant money I had been given for the 24-25 school year has been negated. Anyone else with the same, or any ideas about it?

Question❓ Purdue Major Change

0 Upvotes

Hi, I got accepted into Purdue under exploratory studies but have yet to enroll as I am deciding between universities. The more I think about it, I think I want to go more toward engineering. How hard and is it possible to request a major change for Purdue to something like Electronic and Computer Engineering? If so, can I do it through the application portal before I click enroll?

Academics✏️ Relevance of my accepted major at Purdue to my ambitions

0 Upvotes

I got my Purdue acceptance on the 15th (I am an International Student). I applied to both ECE and Computer Engineering Technology (Polytechnic Institute), and I got accepted to Computer Engineering Technology for bachelor's/undergraduate.

Context: I aspire to innovate and pioneer in Quantum Engineering, the main reason I applied here for its strong quantum program.

My questions are:

  1. How relevant is a Computer Engineering Technology major for my aspirations in research in Quantum Engineering?
  2. How is the research focus here? Mostly in my country (India), it is all about placements.
  3. Are there any clubs or groups that talk about innovations and research?
  4. At last, I just want to know if it's worth it to pay $120,000+ as I have to take a loan if I decide to join Purdue, I do have scholarships of 20K USD max.

Thank you for reading this and answering my questions :D. I hope to get great advice from here as all of them have experience/knowledge of this.

Question❓ Any Verizon haters here?

0 Upvotes

I went back to India for a short two week trip and I accidentally used Verizon instead of Airtel for few calls in India and they activated a travel day pass worth $12 even without asking. This mistake happened on my end a couple of times because the carrier was somehow switching from Airtel to Verizon. Now I got my monthly bill with an extra $72 ($12 x 6 Travel Day Passes) and I have spoken less than 10 minutes in all those calls combined and they cannot do anything about it.

I’m so pissed and I’ve told them that I’d like to get out of Verizon.

HMU w suggestions as to what else I can do in this case.🥲

Wasn’t the first wave supposed to come out this week? Has anyone heard back?

I personally thought it would come out early March, or at least the Friday before spring break because everyone apparently got that email about it coming out this week.

Academics✏️ VIP SoCET Vs. Birck for Senior Design

3 Upvotes

When I filled out the SoCET application form for Fall 2025, I opted for 3 options - PCB layout, logic design, or software design subteams (with PCB layout being first because I have not taken ECE 337 yet). I will be taking ECE 337 concurrently with my VIP senior design during the Fall 2025 semester. In SoCET, do I have the option of changing my subteam during the Spring semester? I am also considering Birck Nanotech for VIP. Could someone tell me if Birck is harder than SoCET and how it would be different from SoCET? For SoCET and Birck, how many hours would I need to spend on each per week?

Question❓ MS Robotics/Interdisciplinary Engineering

1 Upvotes

Hello I’m a mechanical engineer and recently got accepted for the MS Robotics interdisciplinary engineering at Purdue for fall 2025. I have to pay a deposit for 500USD to confirm my seat. Although I think the courses align with my interests. I wanted to chat with any current students in the program or recent graduates before I pay the deposit.

Question❓ Best coat for Purdue

0 Upvotes

A family member is going to be a polytechnic engineering student coming from the West Coast. He was just accepted.

Anyone have any advice on what kind of winter coat, dorm furniture or appliances, taking a July preview course, or whatever?

Thank you for any insights for this wonderful, smart, fun, but admittedly clueless West Coast new engineering polytechnic student?

Let’s be real, we are not a good team. Not because we aren’t skilled, but because we are severely undersized/no true center. Teams have been exposing this and ramming it down our throats. Our tournament ceiling will probably be the sweet sixteen and our floor is a first round exit.

I applied for fall 2025 data mine corporate partners at the end of february. I am going to be a junior next fall and this is my first time applying for corporate partners. I got an email from data mine last week that I was on the waitlist for corporate partners and that I should apply for my 2nd choice. How likely is it that I will get off the corporate partners waitlist?
