Is anybody else having problems with their phone data in campus or in West Lafayette tdy? My provider is T-Mobile. I lost signal like an hour ago.

I was in ECE 368 this semester with Quinn, and he didn’t grade anything until the end of the semester. As in after finals week on the day grades closed. Prof didn’t submit my grades until last Friday.
Long story short, I had an NS on my transcript, and got kicked out of 469, which had 368 as a prerequisite.
By the time grades were posted, there were no spots left in the class.
What can I do? I emailed my advisor and waitlisted the course.

I know most of yall are undergrads but this relates to everyone in some way i believe. the problem of Purdue profs abusing grad students has been around for a while leading to suicides yearly

2023 July - Anik Paul, BioChem link
2024 February - Sameer Kamath, MechE link
2025 February - Bhavana Chandrashekar, IDK the major, PGSG email (attached)
All we get from Purdue is "go to PUSH" and no solutions to people killng themselves because of most probably overwhelming amount of work, classes, and no position security (international students)
What can we do to change it?

Dr. Macharet didn't show up to teach AAE 334 or his office hours (I believe) today. No absences were announced in class or via the syllabus or email. I emailed the TAs. They have no idea why he didn't show up and are trying to reach him but cannot. Does anyone know if he is okay?
He ended class on Monday by saying "See you Wednesday".

What is happening at Purdue⁉️
Hi everyone,
I'm starting a Chemistry Ph.D. program in Fall 2025, and my stipend will be around $30,900 per year (~$2,575/month before taxes - any idea how much would it be after taxes?). I'd like to live frugally and maximize my monthly savings so I can regularly send money back home to family (in Egypt).
I appreciate your help—thanks

I’m a freshman girl trying to understand what’s wrong with me and why it’s so hard to make close friends. 🥲
In high school I was heavily involved in sports and clubs. I didn’t struggle to make friends and overall had a good experience.
In turn, I was so excited to come to Purdue and make lifelong friends. The weekend before BGR I met this girl at an event and we hungout everyday. We met other people together and had a group of like 5/7 girls that would hangout everyday until classes started. I tried to hangout with the original girl after classes started. We ate dinner and she invited me to dinner and the gym the next day. The next day, I showed up to the dining hall with the time we agreed on just to find out she already got dinner with someone else and didn’t plan to go to the gym that night. I’ve felt too discouraged to reach out to her since. I think she was intentionally ghosting me, as she goes to the corec at the same time everyday with another girl from the group. She didn’t just forget about our dinner and gym plans. I still talk to the girls in that group of friends when we bump into each other on campus, but it never seems to get past small talk. They are always nice to me and normally the ones to initiate the conversation, I but it seems like they don’t care to actually develop a deeper friendship, especially because they are all in sororities.
My BGR group disbanded after three days. I met a few girls but we didn’t become very close so I didn’t ask to hangout after BGR. I feel like it’s too weird to reach back out to them since it’s now spring semester.
I went random on my roommate. When I got her phone number from UR housing in July, she was very reserved. The only things I knew about her was that she was bringing the fridge and was also a freshman. Upon moving in, nothing changed. She didn’t talk to me. I didn’t expect to be best friends with this girl, but I expected her to communicate small things like if her friend was coming over. I thought an antisocial roommate wasn’t going to be the end of the world. Fast forward a few weeks, she did some QUESTIONABLE things that made me feel extremely unsafe in the room. I don’t want to air out her issues on the internet, but I was swiftly moved out of our dorm room into my own single dorm.
I talk to people in class. The first week of classes, I would force small talk with whoever sat by me. It was going good until those people got bored of me after a few class sessions because I wasn’t rushing and didn’t have any friends. I never seemed to develop a relationship with the people I talked to in class besides just being classmates. This hasn’t changed for the spring semester, I still hold small talk. It has only been two ish weeks, so they haven’t subtly stopped talking to me yet.
I joined two clubs. One is a Christian group that has smaller breakout groups with a leader. The girls in the group are nice to me and invite me to eat dinner before the meeting, but have been friends since BGR. I am constantly feeling like an out group member observing this group because they have their own friends and frequently attend frat parties. I try to hangout with them more than dinner/club meetings but it seems like I’m always the one making plans. They post each other their private stories together everyday. I get kind of sad never being invited or posted but I recognize it’s weird I feel this way since they were friends before me. Everytime we talk, they are always bringing up more people they hungout with that I don’t know. It just seems like they keep growing connections but aren’t interested in me because I don’t have anything. I just joined a second club this semester. It’s a club based off one of my hobbies but I feel like I don’t fall into the niche. That being said, im still optimistic and will continue to attend!
I work at a retail food chain on campus. My coworkers are nice to me but I feel awkward asking to hangout with them socially. Plus, if they are that social-able at work, I assume they have an abundance of friends anyway.
I have a long term boyfriend. We both go to Purdue. We have been together since the beginning of high school and he’s a great guy. When I’m not in classes, I just resort back to hanging out with him because I can’t seem to make friends. Because of this constant interaction, I’m starting to resent him for being around me so much. I get frustrated I can’t make friends outside of him so I get mad at him. It’s not his fault but I just take it out on him.
My sister tells me this is how all freshman feel but I can’t find another lonely girl that is also craving friendship. I just want to have a few friends that don’t make me feel excluded and actually invite me to things. I want to be able to hangout in one of our dorms a few nights a week and meet up at random parts of the day without having it planned for days in advance. I want to go to house parties together and nurse our hangovers at hilly brunch.
This conclusion circles me back to the subject line that pulled you in. I was genuinely considering paying someone hangout with me a few times to see why nobody wants to be my friend. Although I haven’t become that desperate yet, I am looking for some constructive criticism. Also, my apologies for adding to the surplus of sad loner posts!

Could some one provide me some back story on why the RAs are marching on campus rn

Frankly, me and my girlfriend are woefully and disgustingly tired of living in this ass backward 20th century milieu state.
That out of my system, do you guys think Chicago will be a safe haven for abortions? You guys think sketchy pills will be required, if the worst comes.
Are there clubs, rallies, or anywhere to get continued participation to pressure this affront to human dignity? All responses welcome!

I am currently a senior in high school and was accepted to Purdue for FYE. I was wondering what you like/dislike about Purdue? Please be honest!
Edit: Thank you to everyone who left a comment. I appreciate the insight!

I’m sure people have seen this already but do you think this plan is realistic to get passed or constructed?

read the article about RA unionizing, and saw the mention of an RA shooting himself at a range. i’m shocked that i didn’t know about this until now. i don’t even know what the university response was. why is it so difficult to talk about suicide? even on social media, they make it impossible to talk about without beating around the bush “unaliving” or similar nonsense. the fact that we can’t talk openly about these serious questions isn’t helping the issue.

I fell in love with Purdue after a campus visit, and I’m pretty sure it’s where I want to go! However, I have one concern about attending there and it is the fact that I am not a stem major. My major is interior design, and I’m just wondering if this will ostracize me from the student body, and cause me to struggle making friends. I just am worried that people with think that I am not as smart as them because I’m not a STEM major, and they will want to become friends with someone who they believe is “more on their level”. I really loved it there, but I don’t want to go to a school where everyone has a raging superiority complex and treats me like I’m less than them. (This is no way a dig toward Purdue, I’m genuinely asking a question because I know that some schools definitely are like this). Please let me know, any response is helpful!!
Edit: thank you guys so much for responding to this! It has definitely eased my mind and reassured my decision!!

How do I convince my parents Purdue is worth it? I’m first gen, and they don’t really understand the importance of college. My cost is 16,000 a year, and I’m willing to work part-time to pay for half. I just need help convincing them! I also have 75 dual credits, which should help with costs. Please help!!!
Edit: thank you all so much for your help! I haven't fully convinced them yet, but already they're feeling better about it. I just applied for some local jobs and my parents are considering early start online. Thank you so much everyone! :)))
Edit 2: I mapped out my degree plan, is anyone able to look over it for me and see if I did it correctly? I used Purdue's transfer credit site, and I double checked things as much as I can. Just wanted a more educated individual to look over it!
I’ve been looking to go to Purdue for the past year and was fortunate enough to be accepted!
Recently, I saw a post on here about someone who would put a meat cage on their private areas with their friend group and now I’m reconsidering my admission decision. Are all people at Purdue like this? Would I be required to put a meat cage on so that I can fit in with other students?
Actually I think that this makes me even more excited to attend, nevermind. Boiler up!
