Purdue University (2025-2026)

[inner smelt]

I think Fridays usually

A few waves have come out already

ngl I think I may be cooked for fye, since I haven’t gotten a decision yet lol

[cobalt cloud]

havent seen any1 yet tho

[inner smelt]

the other guy in the thread said there was a wave earlier today

there was definitely one a week ago tho

[cobalt cloud]

he did but no confrmed reports yet

no one on reddit

no one here

[inner smelt]

yh usually there’s people here so that’s kinda weird

[trim ermine]

i thought there was people here

+if it is fridays there’s still 2 more waves without rejections

[inner smelt]

I don’t see any messages from people getting decisions back today

Not in this thread atleast

[trim ermine]

^ ig this is it

[inner smelt]

yh but no one else in this server

[inner smelt]

no rejections in the next 2? Do they only reject in the last wave?

[cobalt cloud]

they tend to accept in early and waitlist/reject in the later waves

[inner smelt]

Yeah maybe I still have a chance lol

[late stream]

Did pirdue come out today

[exotic furnace]

nope

[inner smelt]

😢

[narrow lily]

is there an admitted students server

[hoary quartz]

you just join the purdue server

its actually not that bad

you will get touched by your exams

but if youre lucky

you may get a curve

if youre not lucky

you will just take it how it is

gpa is important, but its not more important than mental health

yea but you really dont wanna do that always

hello my friend

i must meet you once again, its been too long

you double major because you love it, same reason with minoring, it only adds cool points if you really about it, like if you fr love it

so purdue's grad school for example for engineering mainly looks at the last 2 years of college, and the assumption is by then, you have adjusted to college and relaly figured out the ways to get good grades in harder classes. they also like to see growth over all 4 years, and passion in your owkr

[trail escarp]

hallo

[trail escarp]

yess way too long

[twin hatch]

where do u check financial package?

[gleaming reef]

Bruh wth 55k😭😭

I thought it was like 48k

[hoary quartz]

thats the cost of attendance right

its telling you that theres thousands to pay for transportation

and books

and it also gave you a number for housing

and food

but remember

you havent chosen housing and food yet

so that cost can be essentially kinda ignored

your housing and food costs are variable dependent on where you live and what food plan you choose

all the non billed costs never come out to be that expensive

[gleaming reef]

So like what might it become

If I choose like middle

For the plans

And hosting

Housing

[hoary quartz]

um i can show you the costs

https://housing.purdue.edu/my-housing/info/housing-rates.html

heres all the housing rates for next year

https://dining.purdue.edu/residentialdining/mealplans/index.html

if you check all the way down at the bottom

you can get the meal plan prices for next year

i recommend the 10 track

maximum dining dollars

for reasonable cost

from meal swipes

you will most likely be eating 2 meals a day and hella snacks

[gleaming reef]

Hmm so if I do that and a double suite

That’s like 9k

So like 48k a year

Bruh I’m too broke for ts

Son😭

Idk if I can go here

[hoary quartz]

wait

did they increase tuition

that would be wild

what major are you

cause my year the baseline cost was 40k

how are yall getting 48k

[gleaming reef]

I think so by maybe around 4k

[gleaming reef]

Fye

[hoary quartz]

huh

shoulnds be that expensive

unless they increased tuition

[gleaming reef]

I think they increased it

32.8k for tuition and fees

What was it for u

[hoary quartz]

28k

[gleaming reef]

Bruh

[hoary quartz]

it was like that

[gleaming reef]

So they added like 5k?

[hoary quartz]

since 2013

we had frozen tuition for 12 years

[gleaming reef]

Bruh why this year😭

[hoary quartz]

bro

if college increases by 5k

im gonna be a bit cooked

i gotta do a co-op now

to afford to go to school

[gleaming reef]

They can change it while ur currently attending?

[hoary quartz]

fuck you mung chiang

[gleaming reef]

It doesn’t stay the same?

[hoary quartz]

my expectations for the purdue leadership

is in the depths of the 10th layer of hell

they grind my gears

[gleaming reef]

Yea wth bruh 55k base

[hoary quartz]

yea so you can remove the books and supplies, and transportation cost, then housing and food may reduce down

[gleaming reef]

How come u can remove the books and supplies and transportation?

[hoary quartz]

cause theyre not billed

[gleaming reef]

Oh

[hoary quartz]

books are on you

and in this day and age

you can just find some website

and download the books

[gleaming reef]

What abt other

Education

Costs

[fast harness]

misc costs?

[hoary quartz]

transportation is assumed cause many folks fly

but like

thats dependent on alot of things

[fast harness]

if ur instate most drive right?

[hoary quartz]

and you really shouldnt consider it

[gleaming reef]

Yea

[fast harness]

that knocks off transport

[gleaming reef]

What abt the last one tho

[hoary quartz]

really most folks in the region drive

housing and food is variable

cause again

its dependent on where you live

and what plan you choose

[gleaming reef]

The other educational costs

[fast harness]

what is part of the other educational costs

[hoary quartz]

thats fees

for your major

engineering as a differential fee

most likely increased a bit for you

[fast harness]

what do students on the 10 track do for the weekends?

[hoary quartz]

other majors have

these things

[hoary quartz]

i usually either have food stocked up

[gleaming reef]

Hmm so then like 45k for me after subtracting that stuff

[hoary quartz]

or i just use dining dollars

[fast harness]

dining dollars are used where exactly?

[hoary quartz]

if you get the cheapest housing

it will reduce costs substantially

for freshman year

then if you go off campus

afterwards

you will be fine

[gleaming reef]

Man but like living with four people in a room

[hoary quartz]

3 people

is the usual

most of us

are priced out

of a single

we would have to live off campus

to even get that

and a single person apartment

here

[fast harness]

cheaper ot live off campus right?

[hoary quartz]

is like insane

[hoary quartz]

so much cheaper

since youre not paying for dining

you can cut costs from a dining plan

[fast harness]

so most cook their own food?

[hoary quartz]

ye

[fast harness]

can u take a dining plan

[hoary quartz]

cause its so much cheaper

[fast harness]

if ur living off campus

[hoary quartz]

yes

[fast harness]

or is it not recommdend

[hoary quartz]

but its kinda

based on how often

youre eating on campus

[gleaming reef]

How hard is it to become ra

[fast harness]

right okay

[hoary quartz]

super

[gleaming reef]

Dang

[hoary quartz]

its the most competitve

job

here

[gleaming reef]

Is it like impossible to become resident

[hoary quartz]

for on campus

[hoary quartz]

no

[gleaming reef]

To get cheaper tuition

[hoary quartz]

its just low chances

to become a resident

[gleaming reef]

What do u need to do

[hoary quartz]

of indiana

your family needed to have moved here

1-2 years ago

[gleaming reef]

Oh bruh so it’s impossible then

No way around that?

[hoary quartz]

for a reason other than college

nope

this is crazy

purdue has been so affordable for years

and now theyve done it

your options are literally

off campus

or tarkington

[gleaming reef]

What’s tarkington

[hoary quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/rdc-rdcworld-rdcworld1-rdc-mark-mark-phillips-gif-7027457553825934747

bro

tark sharks

truly a place to live

its affordable

but like damn

[hoary quartz]

are you a dude

or woman

[gleaming reef]

Yea

[hoary quartz]

dude?

[gleaming reef]

Dude

[hoary quartz]

yea your options are tarkington

wiley

owen

and cary

those are the cheapest dorms on campus

[gleaming reef]

Are they like terrible or smth?

[hoary quartz]

bro

they increased the rates

[gleaming reef]

What’s a tark shark😭

[hoary quartz]

ok

[fast harness]

what dorms do u reccomend

[hoary quartz]

so like

bro

[fast harness]

for freshman

[hoary quartz]

its all about money

how much can you afford

[hoary quartz]

dont worry about ti

if you commit to purdue and go to tarkington

your mind will widen to the wonders of the human race

so the ones that are affordable

cary south, owen, wiley, tarkington

they are no ac dorms

with communal bathrooms

ranging from singles to quads

[hoary quartz]

i would say go for earhart and shreve

but if you cant afford them

go for wiley and owen

[gleaming reef]

Oh hell nah😭

[hoary quartz]

if youre a dude, wiley, owen, cary south, and tarkington

[glacial elm]

dyt purdue is worth the cost for cs

[gleaming reef]

Like prison shower type shi?

[glacial elm]

cuz yeah it very much did increase

😭

[hoary quartz]

if youre a woman, meredith south, wiley, windsor

[fast harness]

uh i mean like from singles to quads.

what do most people do

[hoary quartz]

singles are like 8 grand a year starting off

they go up to apartments

[fast harness]

yeah im not doing that

[hoary quartz]

upwards of 20k a year

[glacial elm]

?

[hoary quartz]

thats most of this college dorms

if you want a non shared bathroom

[fast harness]

do most frehsman do doubles, triples or quads?

[gleaming reef]

Like you shower together?

[hoary quartz]

youre gonna haul out at least 14k

a year

on top of everything else

[hoary quartz]

no

you just have stalls

[gleaming reef]

Oh

[hoary quartz]

like imagine a public bathroom

better yet

a gym bathroom

where theres showers as well

[gleaming reef]

Broooo I do not wanna do that

[hoary quartz]

if youve ever seen those

[hoary quartz]

also this is the same

[gleaming reef]

Yea

[hoary quartz]

for most colleges

in america

[gleaming reef]

WHATTT

[glacial elm]

yea

[hoary quartz]

yep

[gleaming reef]

Nooo

[hoary quartz]

the most affordable housing

is the full communal showers

[gleaming reef]

Noooo

[hoary quartz]

its not that bad

[fast harness]

yeah communal bathrooms are the standard for most colleges in the US

[gleaming reef]

Son😭

[hoary quartz]

its kinda great

cause you dont gotta clean the bathroom yourself

with your own place

[gleaming reef]

My feet will become dirty tho

[hoary quartz]

you got roommates

[hoary quartz]

wear slippers

bro

[gleaming reef]

How will I go on my bed😭

[glacial elm]

bro js dont gete pantsed g

[hoary quartz]

i would rather die

[glacial elm]

😭

[hoary quartz]

than let my feet

touch the bathroom floor

my bare feet

mind you

hell no

[gleaming reef]

But like I’ll be wearing outside slippers

[hoary quartz]

yes

[gleaming reef]

And those are dirty

[hoary quartz]

shower slippers

you have slippers for outside

then you got shower slippers

or shower shoes

some folks use crocs

when my slipper broke

and i couldnt go to the store

[gleaming reef]

Ig I can wash my feet in the sink back at my dorm

[hoary quartz]

to get more

[hoary quartz]

sink in your dorm?

bro

at purdue

[gleaming reef]

Huh

[hoary quartz]

no dorm has sinks

[gleaming reef]

WHATT

[hoary quartz]

the dorm rooms

themselves

dont have sinks

[gleaming reef]

😭

[hoary quartz]

you gotta go to the shared bathroom

[gleaming reef]

Oh hell nah

[hoary quartz]

thats where teh showers, toilets, and sinks are

[fast harness]

uh there are common areas in the halls right

[hoary quartz]

yes

those are great

much fun

and interesting stuff there

[fast harness]

nice

[hoary quartz]

residence halls

will have clubs

that will host events

[gleaming reef]

So like how can I be sanitary

[hoary quartz]

for the boosting of morale

[fast harness]

cool

[hoary quartz]

same way you are normally

[glacial elm]

so like

why the hell

[gleaming reef]

The dorms gotta be nasty then bruh

[hoary quartz]

you simply take precautions

[glacial elm]

did they increase the tuition

genuinely why

[gleaming reef]

Like other people

[fast harness]

frozen

[hoary quartz]

because they were making shit ass here

[fast harness]

tuition has been frozen

[hoary quartz]

as they froze the tuition

so they used the tuition increase

as a justification

that things wont be ass

but the issue

[glacial elm]

bruhh holy

[hoary quartz]

is that purdue is ran

like a corporation

[glacial elm]

idk if its worth it for cs anymore

[hoary quartz]

so they wont be improving jack shit

[hoary quartz]

this is one of the more affordable american univeristies

[glacial elm]

yea ive heard

😭

[woven plank]

did anyone else get finaid for purdue

[hoary quartz]

unless you go your homestate

this is teh reality of life

[woven plank]

53k holy 😭

[hoary quartz]

as a american

[glacial elm]

i hate uf bruh

[fast harness]

instate purdue is a steal

[hoary quartz]

cut 10k

[glacial elm]

i genuinely hate

[hoary quartz]

from that

[glacial elm]

uf so f*cking much

[hoary quartz]

thats your real cost

[woven plank]

how

[hoary quartz]

you might come to like it

[hoary quartz]

scroll up

i explained it

[woven plank]

ok

[glacial elm]

yea nah hell nahh

[hoary quartz]

its hell

or financial hell

you pick

youll come to love purdue

[fast harness]

whats West lafayette surrounding areas like

[gleaming reef]

Bro pls speed I need this I just need to get into ONE private uni 😭😭😭

[hoary quartz]

but you better get a good ass internship

[hoary quartz]

amazing

not one good ass internship

one each summer

and maybe a co-op on top of that

[gleaming reef]

And my finances are set

[hoary quartz]

two summer internships and a co-op

that might get you ther

[hoary quartz]

i think its solid

west lafayette is a great college town

theres parties

and events

and things to do

lafayette has a skyline

some towers

nothing crazy

thats where the shops and big things are at

[glacial elm]

oh yea fs

[hoary quartz]

the mall in the area feels like it died 10 years ago

[glacial elm]

feel like it wud be significantly harder at UF tho

[hoary quartz]

but purdue keeping it alive

[hoary quartz]

it might be hard ehre

as well

[glacial elm]

yea no doubt

its hard everywhere tbg

[hoary quartz]

you might have to apply to 200-300 internships

if you wanna help yourself

join an engineering project team

become a software person on that team

show hella interest

[glacial elm]

yeaa

college gonna be hell no matter what

[hoary quartz]

these teams will teach you the structure of a company

[glacial elm]

reality of cs

[hoary quartz]

just join something

dont try and make projects on your own

[glacial elm]

yeah fs

[hoary quartz]

without having a club

as well

those days of easy cs is over

dont even consider swe

that shit is cooked

[hoary quartz]

if things work out, purdue might set you up

[glacial elm]

its overr

[gleaming reef]

But like 45k😭😭

[glacial elm]

lowk not that bad at all

[hoary quartz]

45k

is bad

[gleaming reef]

I’m broke😢

[hoary quartz]

for me

i can afford like 25k

thats fire

but 45k

[fast harness]

learning community worth it or no

[hoary quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/flightreacts-reaction-flight-reacts-flight-reacts-flightreacts-gif-14526489174047821058

[fast harness]

its an extra 2 grand

[glacial elm]

im talking abt like

in retrospect

[hoary quartz]

extra 2 grand

damn

[hoary quartz]

uhh

idk bro

[glacial elm]

given like every other college's tuition

[fast harness]

yeah is it worth it?

[hoary quartz]

yea

bro ngl

when i was a freshman

that cost

was in my engineering fee

or my major fee

so like the fact they making it an extra

fee for you

[glacial elm]

wait r u oos

[hoary quartz]

is kind a crazy

they do not like yall

one bit

you are their new cash cows

but yes

i think its worht it

what major are you

i am from oos

i am from delaware

rural delaware

[glacial elm]

😭

[hoary quartz]

nobody but the delawareans know where i am at

[glacial elm]

all u gotta know

is i freaking

hate uf

i dont even know

how this si like a t10 public school

when it doesnt have like any gud rankings if imma be honest

😭

biz is rlly gud thats all ik

[gleaming reef]

How come u hate it😭

[glacial elm]

fsu fan

and campus is buns

[hoary quartz]

i didnt even consider florida

[glacial elm]

• nearly eveyrone ik is going there

• trying to leave florida

[hoary quartz]

i lived there 4 years of my life

im never going back

[glacial elm]

good it fraking sucks

[hoary quartz]

you cannot catch me in florida

[glacial elm]

it is TRASH

the epitome of ASS

[hoary quartz]

mfs wanna live there

[glacial elm]

its so bad

[hoary quartz]

its so ass

its literally ass

[glacial elm]

no bro not me

[hoary quartz]

there are better pastures

better places

[glacial elm]

i was living in utah before

so much more better

[hoary quartz]

thats crazy

why not go to byu

or UofU

[glacial elm]

never

[glacial elm]

hell yea

i was born in cedar city

so its like

not even close to provo or slc

i still dont know how uf is a t10 pub school

[woven plank]

what is the differential fee for?

[hoary quartz]

is this for fye?

[hoary quartz]

so like depending on the learning community

[woven plank]

yea

[hoary quartz]

its either great

or straight ass

if youre an engineer

do epics

or vip

if youre a computer person

do vip or datamine

or both

theres other ones

depends on your interests

research these things

please

you are determining how you spend a year of your life

it really matters

[hoary quartz]

so that fee is how the college of engineering gets its funding partially

[woven plank]

oh

[trail escarp]

vip my beloved

[hoary quartz]

vip is great rn

im making a thingamajig

[trail escarp]

hell yeah

[hoary quartz]

the start of something grand

i really fucked up the one going up

its supposed to be down

this is supposed to be a net frame

[trail escarp]

quite a thingamabob u got there

[hoary quartz]

so you know i cadded it wrong

seems like you cant just make a universal left for both left and rights

[glacial elm]

wud i be crazy if i picked purdue over uf(if i get in)

[gleaming reef]

Yea😭

Man if there were great colleges where I’m from I would honestly just go there

[glacial elm]

uf aint gud for cs tho

n like idk

[gleaming reef]

Hmm ig

How much is it tho

[glacial elm]

ill see fs

[glacial elm]

hella cheap

[gleaming reef]

How hot does it get over there

[hoary quartz]

not that bad

so like theres 1-4 weeks

of a school year

that its kinda ass

but the yest

of the year its pretty nice

very great

[gleaming reef]

Like what temp😭

[hoary quartz]

depends

with climate change

[gleaming reef]

Anything over like 85 and I’m fried

[hoary quartz]

the temps do be fluxuating

it really depends on the outside air

[gleaming reef]

Or like 90

[hoary quartz]

my freshma year

there was a week of 95+

temps

without fans

[gleaming reef]

Dang

[hoary quartz]

and the doors being open

and alot of other stuff

[gleaming reef]

No ac gotta be hell

[hoary quartz]

it wouldnt be habitable

for 1-4 weeks

it sucks

the rest of the time

its wonderful

[gleaming reef]

What temp is it normally

[onyx fossil]

sun

[gleaming reef]

Is it humid

[hoary quartz]

idk

it can be

[onyx fossil]

why is so hot

[hoary quartz]

its humid in my room rn

but thats cause my heat's on

[onyx fossil]

yo don’t got dehumidifier

[hoary quartz]

and my fan is also on

i never invested in one

[onyx fossil]

is that a luxury

[hoary quartz]

i mean i could get one

[tame slate]

Whats the hottest it gets during the year

[onyx fossil]

my brother had one for his dorm

[hoary quartz]

but like

[onyx fossil]

well has again now

[hoary quartz]

im not going to

its been to long now

also im not even in my dorm room

[onyx fossil]

i guess

[hoary quartz]

long enough to worry about it

[onyx fossil]

well okay not his dorm but his apartment

[hoary quartz]

i leave it around 1030

and come back around midnight

usually

[onyx fossil]

he’s gon to three separate schools now

one for under grad one for grad and now one for law

[gleaming reef]

What’s heat

[onyx fossil]

nu -> columbia -> penn

[onyx fossil]

due what

like the heating?

[gleaming reef]

The dorms have heating but no ac?

[hoary quartz]

yes

[gleaming reef]

Bruh

[hoary quartz]

there are dorms with both

but they are more epensive

i never actually felt a need for ac

i got two fans

and that was the biggest thing

really the big issue

is the cold

but yall will find out

about that

[gleaming reef]

Oh wait that doesn’t even seem that bad tbh

And during summer u go home yea

[hoary quartz]

yea

if youre here during the summer

its ass

i hear

[gleaming reef]

Bruh yeah hell nah

I’m not staying for that

[hoary quartz]

but thats

any summer

[hoary quartz]

you might

youre fye right?

[gleaming reef]

Yea

[hoary quartz]

you might do summer research

here

[gleaming reef]

Oh bruh

[hoary quartz]

or a summer internship near here

[gleaming reef]

Don’t dorms close tho

During summer

[hoary quartz]

they got summer housing

[gleaming reef]

Oh

[hoary quartz]

but its in the ac dorms

[onyx fossil]

ow mic is it

how much

[hoary quartz]

cause the non ac dorms do get extremely hot

[hoary quartz]

idk

you gotta search that one up

https://housing.purdue.edu/my-housing/info/housing-rates.html

also piece of advisor

[gleaming reef]

Dang bruh

[hoary quartz]

advice

[gleaming reef]

Is the cold extremely bad

[hoary quartz]

when yall get your advisors

dont blindly trust their word

do your own research

[hoary quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-try-not-to-laugh-trying-not-to-laugh-holding-laugh-gif-3669331249104858057

better than the -20 windchill

[tame slate]

Cooked 💀

[hoary quartz]

we had last month

[hoary quartz]

was like hell on earth

my jacket was stylish tho

[onyx fossil]

literal requirement to live in mn

[tame slate]

The lowest temperature Ive experienced is 50

Uhhhhh

[gleaming reef]

Same

[hoary quartz]

50 is shorts weather

50 is splendid

[gleaming reef]

What’s shorts weather

Mean

[hoary quartz]

this place has made me come to enjoy 50

weather to wear shorts

[tame slate]

Nahhh 50 is fully cover up weather

[hoary quartz]

without freezing

[gleaming reef]

What💀 💀

[trail escarp]

50 is now pleasant to me

[hoary quartz]

bro last year

50 was not pleasant to you

[trail escarp]

im from cali so 50 was very cold

[gleaming reef]

That’s already like freezing bro

How can u wear shorts in that

[trail escarp]

but now its rly rly nice when its 50

[hoary quartz]

cause you experience worse

[onyx fossil]

that’s real

[hoary quartz]

so much worse

that 50 becomes shorts weather

i remmebr last year

[onyx fossil]

everything between 50 and 0 is goose and then under is coat

[hoary quartz]

the wind chill was -20

when the teps

rose to 10

i took off my jacket

wore a shirt

and shorts

and walked around fine

[gleaming reef]

Oh hell nah

[hoary quartz]

the cold makes your body adapt

im from a place thats so much more mild

than here

[hoary quartz]

bro it happens to everyone

you just adapt

its actually interesting

how the human body does it

since we start sweating

and getting hot

we wanna cool down

so the cold air is perfect to cool down

[gleaming reef]

Son😭😭 50 is the coldest I have been in and I was literally freezing with jacket and beanie and gloves and everything

[hoary quartz]

get thicker jackets

a thick jacket

can do wonders

[gleaming reef]

It was a winter jacket😭

[hoary quartz]

literally makes the cold splendid

[hoary quartz]

um

well

ill say you get time

it doesnt come outta nowhere

the cold is a slow decrease in temps

over a month

its november usually

[trail escarp]

id recommend getting a super expensive high end coat like arcteryx or north face

[gleaming reef]

Wait do the showers have hot water😭

[trail escarp]

theyre quite expensive, like 250-550 dollars

but so worth it

[gleaming reef]

How much is that😭

[trail escarp]

yes ofc

[gleaming reef]

Oh

Dang

For one article of clothing

Ts designer

Goddamn

[trail escarp]

very very useful though

[gleaming reef]

Is there a time limit

For showering

[trail escarp]

what?

no

[gleaming reef]

Oh ok

[trail escarp]

u r left quite independent in the dorms

no restrictions like curfew, guest policy, shower limits, etc

[hoary quartz]

Yes, but depending on the day you might get a situation where there is no hot water for a couple of hours

So what you do in this situation is that you just go to a different shower

For me, whenever I see the my shower is too cold.I like to turn on the surrounding showers and near me to increase that water pressure

To get that hot water cycling through

[gleaming reef]

Oh to get the cold out of the system?

[hoary quartz]

This is not prison.This is just adulthood light

[gleaming reef]

What’s adulthood light mean😭

[hoary quartz]

That's how I like to imagine it. I know it's a different thing. Most likely, it jump starts the heating or whatever

[hoary quartz]

Adulthood lite

[gleaming reef]

Oh

[hoary quartz]

Like, you're not experiencing the full experience of a dollhood, but you're getting a good experience of it

[gleaming reef]

Man I don’t wanna be an adult

[hoary quartz]

That it prepares you for being an actual adult

Neither do I

[gleaming reef]

😭

[hoary quartz]

But i'm still gonna have to do it

I might do a master's degree to delay it though

Main reasoning behind this is that the economy is pretty trash right now

[gleaming reef]

Oh yeah is it possible to do masters in four years

[hoary quartz]

If I can wait out this presidential cycle.And maybe the next one has better economic opportunities.I think that might be the move

[hoary quartz]

A master's is two years

[gleaming reef]

Like bachelors and masters

[hoary quartz]

If what you're asking is is it possible to do a master's in the four years that you have an undergrad

It is possible

There are programs for specific majors

4+1

[gleaming reef]

Ya

[hoary quartz]

Essentially, you can reduce your undergrad time by a year

[gleaming reef]

Cause I think I’m almost basically sophmore standing

[hoary quartz]

By doing credits in external institutions, and essentially, if you do enough credit hours

[gleaming reef]

When I start

[hoary quartz]

You may be able to reduce the amount of time that you need for the underground

Undegrad

[hoary quartz]

It's less about the total number of credits that you have more about.The amount that appli

Because I came in with thirty three credits

But in reality, only eight of them applied

So I was a little bit ahead, but not too much

I know people who came in with ninety five credit hours and were able to shave off a whole year and a half on their degree

[gleaming reef]

What do u take in fye?

[hoary quartz]

Most of those ninety five credit hours applied

[hoary quartz]

I'm gonna show you with the link. I'm about to give you

But i'm gonna tell you that personally in my experience.First year, engineering was a mixed bag

A lot of people sounded to be really easy

Founded it

It can be really easy

It's completely dependent on how familiar you are with the content

But let me give you the rundown

Also additionally just to point it out

I am a sophomore in mechanical engineering

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=18&poid=32856&hl="first+year+engineering"&returnto=search

here are the credit requirements

for first year engineering

[gleaming reef]

hmm

[unique owl]

am I just fried for Purdue atp

I was considering joining a learning community

The women in engineering one

My parents say cost there is no issue, which I’m really glad it isn’t but the guilt I feel is also nuts

[gleaming reef]

so ill need intro to engineering 1 and 2 and then c programming and for the written and oral communication does ap lang count?

but i have everything else

[hoary quartz]

that one is great

the community is super welcoming

[gleaming reef]

or wait if i already have chem do i need to do the classes in the second half

[unique owl]

Oh wait that’s awesome to know

[gleaming reef]

oh yeah i dont need to so i only need to take intro to eng 1 an d 2

[hoary quartz]

im tryna get the chemistry requirement for engineering

like ap exam

[gleaming reef]

oh like just take it?

does clep not have chem

do u know abt clep?

[hoary quartz]

https://admissions.purdue.edu/become-student/transfer/credit/ap/

[unique owl]

Have yall applied to scholarships after your first year

I assume yall have

Bc I’m like applying for as many as I can find/do

[hoary quartz]

yea

theres alot

the majors themselves have some

you just do what you can

[gleaming reef]

do yk how it would work if i came in with all those creds?

would they just place me in a specific major already

[unique owl]

I think you would still have to like go thru FYE?

[unique owl]

how competitive would you say they are?

[gleaming reef]

but like i have all the credits except for two classes

so i was wondering how that would work

[unique owl]

Ik a first year currently at Purdue

They’re just taking higher level classes

First semester they took calc 3

[gleaming reef]

but you're still in fye?

even though ur in higher level classes

oh wait

but like major specific classes

hmm

[hoary quartz]

yea

theres some major classes

you cant take

cause youd be a freshman

but most are free game

[hoary quartz]

high

[gleaming reef]

wait so they wouldnt put me in a specific major

[hoary quartz]

free game

in the sense

[gleaming reef]

even though i have almost all the ccredits

[hoary quartz]

that you can try and do them

[hoary quartz]

yes

because you have to do

[gleaming reef]

😭

[hoary quartz]

that engr class

[gleaming reef]

bruh

[hoary quartz]

what major did you apply

to

for purdue

[gleaming reef]

electrical

[hoary quartz]

well

you can get in

a semester early

but its unlikely

[gleaming reef]

so i would just be taking like random classes??

the first semester

[hoary quartz]

you can take the ece courses

there was a dude i know

[unique owl]

I see, well imma still apply

[hoary quartz]

in the same boots

he just did his gen eds

[unique owl]

Are you doing co-ops or internships?

[hoary quartz]

cause to do the other ece courses

you need to be at least a sophmore

[gleaming reef]

bruh

[hoary quartz]

of have taken the intro to ece course

so if you came into purdue

you would do that intro course

then the next semester

if you got into ece

then youd take other courses

[gleaming reef]

dang thats kinda annoying

[hoary quartz]

ece is the only one like that

[gleaming reef]

so like wasted one semester

[hoary quartz]

mechE for example

you simply can do mechE courses

just not a couple

but like its mostly there

[hoary quartz]

no

you can spend your semester

doing your gen eds

boosting your gpa

before you get railed

to oblivious

by ece

cause i will be truthful

that major

is hard

as hell

one of the harder ones at purdue

its not at all

a slice of cake

im doing the intro to ece course

for the second time

[gleaming reef]

yea i hope i dont get cooked 🙏

[hoary quartz]

cause of how bullshit that course can be

[gleaming reef]

😭

[hoary quartz]

but

but

if you have a strong soul

persistent

and stubburn

you too can graduate in 4-5 years

[gleaming reef]

ru majoring in electrical?

[hoary quartz]

maybe even with a masters degree

no i told you

[gleaming reef]

mech?

[hoary quartz]

i am a mechanical engineer

[gleaming reef]

oh yeah

[hoary quartz]

but like alot of majors in engineering

take the intro to ece course

mechEs and ece have to take the intro course and the intro lab

the first two intro to ece courses are kinda scuffed

the rest are scuffed in the sense of the professors

[gleaming reef]

oh

[hoary quartz]

ece has some shitty professors

[gleaming reef]

bruh

[hoary quartz]

but it also has some of our best

so dont worry

just be watching the rmp

[gleaming reef]

so i just gotta lock in on gen eds first sem 😭

?

[hoary quartz]

it will actually impact your grade

[gleaming reef]

whats the rmp

[hoary quartz]

rate my professor

[gleaming reef]

oh

[hoary quartz]

yes

[gleaming reef]

like what else is there

other than fye

that helps my degree

cause theres calc and physics

but like what else

[hoary quartz]

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=18&poid=33782&hl="electrical+engineering"&returnto=search

here is the degree plan for ece

you will be exploring this

alot

this will guide your future

start planning your classes out

around june

[gleaming reef]

i dont need the intro to ece tho?

do yk which ones i dont need

like the programming ones?

[hoary quartz]

scroll down

go to the years

[hoary quartz]

anything that says core requirements or required seminar

[gleaming reef]

oh c programming

[hoary quartz]

is a class you will have to do

teh selectives are classes you can choose from
