Founded
in 1869, Purdue University has become one of the leading research
institutions in the U.S., and ranked as the 24th best university in the
nation. In addition to more than 400 undergraduate majors, students can
enjoy cheering on the Purdue Boilermakers football team and being part
of the Big Ten Conference. With six home games this season, Purdue fans
can cheer their favorite athletes led by coach Joe Tiller, hear the Big
Brass Drum, and ride the Boilermaker Special mascot train to the games
and around campus.
Purdue sits in the heart of West Lafayette, Indiana - a locale where students can relax in miles of local parks, go boating or canoeing on area rivers and lakes, or hike along one of the region's extensive trails. And the beautiful Purdue campus offers inviting green space and outdoor sculpture where students can take a break from their studies and immerse themselves in the rich traditions of university life.
