its like a biweekly thing
when i was applying
to buy random stuff
fax costco got mad vibes
word for word
like one time in 20221
then i got here
they had this fire chair on discount
ur from the future?
i js be chillin asking for samples
i meant 2021
they got the maggi packs for cheap too
is there any indian grocery store nearby
i cant survive w out maggi
and
my room too small for any bulk
nigerian?
one time when i was like 8 my mom took me to costco and there was some fire spanakopita samples, so i took some, the guy said no more, so i took a shirt from the clothing section, changed, and came back π
dang do ppl acc fly out of ts airport
nah
indian
maggi is basically js a indian version
of
ramen
idk i saw magi
99 dollar flight to chicago ohare
its a commercial airport
my room small, but its bigger than most freshman rooms
oh thats nice
single? or roomate
roommate
did u do that?
or js drive from chicago
wait thats not possible
π
u cant even rent a car
no its cheaper to fly from indy
both ways
$55 1 way to chicago, $110 roundtrip obv
I believe there is an Indian grocery store
But I haven't been there
I barely go into downtown cause unlimited meal plan provides
In terms of the dining court?
yess
Its pretty carb heavy
what type of cusines
oo
We have a chipotle type thing called la fonda
Maybe once a month
dang
And it's not the greatest
underrpresented
Fr
purdue got hella indians too
Ig it comes down to who the food suppliers are
You can use dining dollars on it
Unlimited is 2800 a semester
My dorm is 1400 a semester
Its a triple with no ac
Damn
jk
Yes
dang
We have reached up to 90+ degrees
I don't think we have reached 100 yet or we may have for a day
I woke up and was like wth
dang
That probably beats death valley
indeed
Nice. Purdue gives you good value for the price you pay
yeah
Except when it comes to off campus housing
Housing crisis
oh shit
We don't have enough space for everyone
really
fuck
can i preselect a home if i want
dorm
like how ut u can apply for dorms
even before u get in
You rank your room types
And then they choose where you live sometime in the summer
summer
Maybe. I didn't apply to uc schools
Yes
or have a preffered
race
like
if i wanna have a indian roomate
do they do that
I don't think the university can do that for legal reasons
My dad asked universities the same thing
LMAOO
So i feel you
Yeah. I had to go random cause by the time I started looking for people, it was last minute
So most people already had roommates
If you want to find people, I would start looking once you commit
LMAO
Yup
would highly recommend
I met most of my closest friends during bgr lol
whats bgr
i mean we met in person during bgr
orientation
oh
Boiler gold rush
is it mandator
no
ok bet
but you should do it
when is it
right before school starts
i dont talk to any of my bgr group anymore but i spent a lot of time getting to know my current friend group
so like
10/10 was worth
- moving in a week early is realllllly good for adjusting
So this year it was from August 13 to 17
nope
oh its a week long
And then school started the 19th
you move in for bgr then you stay
i like never met my bgr folks ever again
ohh
yeah
That usually tends to be the case
My group was the exception
and idk if this happened last year but there was a huge party on slayter
that i skipped to go to dairy queen but dairy queen was closed so i went to silver dipper instead
arieal
We had a concert at slayter
i cant remember if there was live music for us
there were bouncy houses though
i do remember that
deadass?
We had a bouncy house as well
Probably. We are THE aero school.
anyways
purdue on top
i love it here most of the time
(DUIRI please give me money)
Purdue is home
Most people love it so much they don't want to leave
Most may be an overstatement. A pretty good chunk of people
purdue is fire
Purdue as a university and its alum are involved in literally everything out there
like during thanksgiving and winter?
break
Winter break everyone leaves
migth drop to 11 credits
Thanksgiving most leave
3 weeks or seom
holy fucl
I didn't leave for Thanksgiving. Most depressing part of the semester
That as well
hate finals
I spent half of Thanksgiving break on campus and the other half with a friend in Chicago
when does break end for y all
oh thats fun
This Sunday
Bus and car
yeah
oh realy
yea
thats fire
It only goes 3 times a week tho
yep
At 8 am ish
only if 18 y/o were allowed to rent a car
You can through purdue zipcar
purdue does that
Yeah
Yeah
We also have a free bus that takes you to downtown indy
Cause of the new campus
Yep
Do they ever put a third person in a double room? My friend paid for a 2 person suite at another uni and ended up in a small room with an extra roommate and no space basically π
Yes
That's what I am in
A converted room
But u paid less? or og double room price
I pay less than the people with a double
Ah k then its somewhat fair
purdue if i get in pls give me the double 400 extra is fine
Iβm so used to having en entire room to myself even 1 roomie is gonna be an adjustment π
Is it just luck or is it a first come first serve kinda thing? Like is there a difference if u commit and apply in feb vs committing and applying in march after all the rd decisions come out?
all admitted freshmen who choose to live on campus
will get housing
u will have to rank the TYPE of housing u want
so like roomtype
but u cannot choose where u wanna live
as a freshman
my floor has a 8 man room
8 people is the most
but those dorms are like under 2k a year
usually upperclassmen live there
8???!!!! What the hell
Idt any cost can justify 8 ppl in a room
Oh k
this
one room with 8 people in it
its still better than the cary boilerrooms
4th floor of cary quadrangle
in the roof
6 men in the boilerroom closet
BOILERROOMS?
Y ALL GOT BOILERROOMS
IN PURDUE
interesting
theyre trying to dedensify so by next year there should not be any more converted triples, but real tripled absolutely do exist
bro what that is insane
Shoot him
HAHAHAHA π
when i go to uni im gonna carry a box full of maggi
at least 200 packets
and then ill start a maggi club at purdue
do not encourage her
Well thats good
Literally me lol. One suitcase just for maggi π€£
Damn so i guess i didnt have any unique ideas lol
Then again no point of maggi if u r in a dorm without a kitchen
Lol maggi lovers all had the same thought
My friend already did it at msu, stocked up 3 months worth of maggi
you can bring the portable cooking thingy
i saw some reels of it
idk if those are allowed tho
searches bank acc for money after paying tuition
π π
does everyone get admitted to FYE or is it possible to get admitted directly into your specific branch like mechanical?
Ur admitted into fye
@pliant garnet yo how much free time in a day do u have as an ai major?
Like an hour or two
More than enough
But last sem my schedule was relatively light
This sem itβs gonna be a looooot worse
wait as ai major u still have to do FYE right
?????? at least once a week
yep during bgr this year as well
you can have as much free time as you make
wat r u majoring in
stats and econ
its great, even wiley (mine) and tark (considered the two worst) aren't even that bad
do u think it was like easy to move in or something
oh also are u supposed to move to a new room every year or can u just stay in the room for all 4 years?? 
yea they had hella people who helped move us in
new room every year. even if you happen to choose the same room you gotta move out
Ohh for like inspection or smth?
are majority of the people in this gc Indian American?
Yes.
not majority
a decent amout
No
Only engineering has fye
Makes sense
College of science has different requirements
Our classes are in a whole bunch of buildings
Thatβs probably the hall of science
this?
Oh
Where chem and stuff is taught
wait so its not all in one building?
Oh
I had classes in 5 diff buildings last sem
Thats actually fire
And like 5 next sem
this is def chaney
like 10 mins per class?
its fun though
legit
I'm nigerian American
yur
lowk wanna learn skateboarding
my nigerian king
like if you want
π₯ π₯
Electric skateboards
what
nabhh imma get a normal skateboard
beware of trees. also, gtfo here, you're a junior
NO!!!!
i hate junior year
pluis i wont be a jujnior in like
2 months

Meaning?
like from one class to another
how much time does it generally take to get from one class to another
Between classes is 5-10 min
ooo that doesnt take too long then
From dorm to classes is 30 minutes tho
Dorms are in one end of campus
Classes are another
Kinda
i take my words back
well it shouldnt take that long w a bike or skateboard tho
Thereβs a bus system tho
Yea
ohhhh
But in the cold and snow they donβt work as well
good point
hm
aight
thanks for the help
π«‘ π«‘
Np!!
By free time do u mean for clubs n stuff or is that time u have even after clubs and other activities?
Even after clubs and stuff
Damn, decent schedule
SAME
im expecting calc 2 to be a gpa boost
this'll be interesting
i have 9 classes next sem
Dude I own one
Okay well im stealing it from you if i get in
Ha no
Bro ghosted me
Mb I was getting shake shack
OMG
im built different
probably should be fine
π
kenji matsuki is teaching it
bro will give study guide and ill do it and get good grades π₯
thats how i got a+ in calc 1
π«₯
w purdue
does purdue waive application fee??? im an intl, and their fee is a bit much for me at the moment so yeah
Week left bitches π₯π₯π₯
Does it actually happen once a week. I only see it once a month lol.
Funny thing. I saw this insta post that ranked the smoothness of moving in to university and it ranked Purdue third.
wow
thats so fire.
purdue is actually fire
when i tell my parents
theyll be like
"no harvard π€ harvard MIT ! ! ! ! !"
It legit is. Every day I learn something new and cool about this institution
personally its like the perfect uni for me
Okay discord user jamie | purdue | first year eng
You have a better chance of getting in cause people were saying that class of 26 is smaller than 25 on average
but im class of 30-
OH FOR HS
Omg hiiiii ritvik
i think i have extra chromosomes 
wait fr??
No I have more than you
i am actually hoping i get into purdue so badly
Nah
I'm pretty sure that was part of their solution to the housing crisis
Oh damn what
weird question but do u guys often see bugs in purdue
The class of 26 would be less of a burden cause there are fewer kids in the graduating hs class
^^ in dorms
No
hm i see
In the fall, yes
in dorms??
In the hallways of dorms
oh
Only once tho
Omg. I remember that
idrc ab that
i saw some vids about bug infestation in ppls dorm rooms
i was terrified
i think one was in UCLA
not sure
Real
bugs are the worst creation from god
Its not a problem for the most part
Agree
like what is the purpose of mosquitos bruh
Most time you wouldnβt be in the dorm because itβs likely not that nice
well they did help control overpopulation but thats all
oH ok
At least not for me
I lived in the worst dorms for women
u can actually just
punch walls & actually break it or something
with ur bare hands
is that true
LMAO
i am steal .
Wdym life savings the prime thing abt maggi is its cheap π₯
fair point
cant wait for decisions
i dont know about in the purdue place
but uh
in nj it's pretty easy to get in the indian stores (patel brothers n such)
idr how expensive but not too much
Yes
No
Purdue is in the middle of nowhere
Ethnic grocery stores are basically nonexistent
noooooooooooooooo :(
Let alone the fact that u prob wonβt be able to cook in the dorms
wait WHAT
One stove in the entire building
arent there
wow
what
π
arent there like stoves and shit for every floor
No
For every building
Lmfao
Like even the absolute best dorm, Meredith south, has one kitchen for the entire building
i-
You could but itβs expensive and tough to make food
great
Bro thinks MS is better than Freida
The good news is no one ever uses it
So u could still do that
Canβt blame you tho Meredith South is nice as fuckkk
i didnt know the housing crisis was this bad
Never been in Frieda
Msouth is insane tho
?? No housing aint that horrible but
i mean
Cooking is NOT the move
Itβs not the housing crisis, itβs how they built the dorms
Without kitchens
You can still do that
ah okay i see
But HUGE time commuttment
will i get kicked out or smthin
Like no?
ah okay
Like idk how much demand therell be
Yeah I was about to say
Like I wouldnβt buy cuz thereβs dining halls and I needa burn swipes
Not there but in indy and obv in chicago thereβs hella
i aint going till chicago to buy spices π
But like driving all the way for groceries is funny
wait so
like
its unlimited?
Depends
or what
No they're all in lafayette
Lafayette is a pain to travel to and from
Yeah
so like per meal is one swipe
This is changing next year
Yep
The stores are on the bus routes
damn-
Per meal
is it hella costly
Not sure, u shud look it up
I forgot the price lol
But 14 a week is perfect
I have run out of swipes once ever
damn okay
like not really?
ong?
why? the bus is really good
Why would you refuse the easiest means of transportation?There is
The bus isn't even dirty, it's not unsanitary. It's not filled with homeless people, california
exactly, the bus is super high quality
even better than the pace busses up here
anyways, what about the meal plan for next year?
like whats changing about it?
They said default next year is 14
So ig thatβs staying the same
Maybe theyβre changing number of dining dollars
can i still do 10?
Since thereβs so few places to spend them
Not sure at all
bc i dont wanna do 14 anymore i think
Theyβre gonna tell rly late π
Y tho
i dont need it
Fair lol
Oh damn
I usually end up with 1 or 2 at the end of the week
On the go my beloved
Theyβre so so good
like im consistenly 3-5 a week
and i have hella dining dollars surplus
i dropped 40 on cake pops for you guys and 50 on my sister and still have extra going into next sem
i still have $40
and this is after a starbucks a week
Damnnn
I was way too conservative with my dining dollars
I still have like 100
I spent it on weekly boba with some friends and then like maybe a Starbucks a week if it was cold
i wish we could redeem excess dining dollars for actual dollars
yeah no fuck that
IKR
at least for me
keeping 14 this sem tho
that would be so fucked
even with 10 its so much
like 10 is alot
u can have two meals a day
and using dining dollars every weekend
and still be fine
But consider the fact that u donβt eat at all
or just pete's za get some food stuckpiled
true
stop it, you dont eat
im on the 10 and the amount of dining dollars is crazy
thats what it looks like
looks like they just upped dining dollars a bit for everything
How much are these plans
Purdue University - Dining & Culinary
Depends on the wall
I avoid my room cause either I'm busy, don't feel like walking up four flights of stairs, or my roommates are using it
I haven't bought it in a while but it's probably two or three packets for a dollar.
Are you a fellow nj resident
It is better than frieda
Funny thing, I met a guy this past weekend and he said he did a summer program at Purdue last summer. Apparently they put him in Meredith south
not me tho, im in my dorm for 2/7 days
Where do you go for the other 5
lambertus 2285
Is that a conference room
nah its the minority engineering room
Yo what
so i got free tutoring
Free tutoring
I may need to hit that up
the engineers there are really helpful
they tutor most engineering classes
or they can help u in most classes
for FREE
hi
wsg
Whatβs better? Unlimited or 14 track?
Hmm really?
Will those 10 meals last me all week?
True true
i have the 10 track
cause i get alot more dining dollars
pretty much
theres days i dont use my meal swipes
cuase i use my dining dollars
i can get a meal for like 5 dollars
and its fine
theres acc a sushi place
that uses meal swipes
Oh fire
I do 14 because I donβt have time for breakfast
using less meal swipe
Donβt you like shit yourself to death
Is that like a cafeteria or is that like a actually restaurant
like a fast food place
imagine chipotle
no
sushi isnt one of the things im adverse to
but one of their ingredients does acc inflame me
Ah okay fire
so i think i might be alergic to it
Then why keep eating it ππ
Best food there is
You get sick of canteen food soon
Ah true
So 10 track is fire
Itβll last you all week
And you have a lot of dining dollars?
Oh Yeha you get 1100 a year
Thatβs 550 a semester is that a good amount for the semester?
For the 10 plan
I would say so
Just watch your spending
Or just budget like 100 a month
Which is more than enough in my opinion
pretty much
yep alot of times u wont have time to go to dining halls
so u might stockpile on snacks
and just take those with u
Oh thatβs so true
Same here
Yeah your right
We get busy
If I commit thatβs what Iβll do
Iβm in 2 clubs and thatβs a lot of commitment
theres places on campus that u can waste dining dollars quickly
and dining swipes quickly
Like where
Honestly Lagrange doesnβt eat a lot but if youβre a fatass like me and you need at least 2 meals a day Iβd recommend the 14
the entirety of the pmu
i can do 2 meals a day
We have to force Lagrange to eat
i just use my dining dollars for saturday and sunday
Brother didnβt you survive off of like 2 tangerines once
Ah true but I want those dining dollars for food ππ
but it got dicey the last week of school
Ah
oh yea 650 is alot to spend
One sushi place takes swipes
Wait do yall have mod pizza over there does that exist??
when meals are like 10 dollars
And on the go places take swipes too
nah bro
its the midwest
Fuck
Whatβs mod pizza
Bro you have not lived till you try mod
good pizza
Brother Iβm from Hong Kong
dont mean nothing
Fair
Ok fine
Itβs like subway for pizza itβs so fire
Itβs so fire
You pay a base price and you can get as many toppings as you want for free
Lagrange are you in Cary next year again?
Woah
Hol up lemme ping him
@karmic parcel
Oh shit
yep
i am
its gonna be nice
Ikr itβs so fire
Hell yeah
Where you from again?
annothr thing, some dorms have resturants that have dining dollar spending locations
Washington state
Oh yeah youβre that mf
Ooh thatβs fire
Yeah lmao
Sorry ex talking stage from maple valley
Sorry bud
Lore accurate
these monkeys are always portrayed as wise and knowledgble
Real
on skibidi
Car
bro there's only 1 week left
no one asked hoe
same...
so scared
no lol i live in madhya pradesh
its true tbh
they dont even have stereotype
the only time mp is remembered is when someone talks about bhopal gas tragedy and poha
no offense intended
Fr
Do the dorms have a mini fridge or do u have to buy that stuff yourself?
You can rent one or you can buy one
Do u find it actually necessary or do u just use it cuz u have it lol
i buyed one
i usify mine
buyed
i will NOT toleratify this hatism
stupid question but when u say there is a housing crisis, does the housing crisis affect both all-female and all-male dorms and the co-ed ones equally, or is it specific to certain types of accommodations?
both! they hate us all
here I thought I was safe cuz I am a female applicant π€‘
yeah fuck no, yall wanted equality, here it is
No
Stupid ahh liberal type shi
(I hate everyone)
yes sir
Purdue has reached the goal of equality
