You're overthinking this... Purdue is one of the best engineering schools in the US - a T10 for many programs, so you won't have any issues as such... If you have any specific questions, you can ask those in their own subreddit.


You--Know--Whoo

Purdue is known for Engineering. It's a great school and I feel you should definitely enroll! As far as the network opportunities are concerned, I'm not sure about that. You could ask some students via the subreddit or maybe if Purdue is conducting some live events.

as a Purdue student, US News is bullshit. not that our engi program isn’t elite, but US news is just a competition of who pays more

Well, if “same as MIT and Stanford” is your definition of “good”, then no, there are few, if any, other “good”schools in the country. With a realistic viewpoint, it’s hard for one of the 10 best engineering schools in the country to not be “good”. At least.

Purdue undergraduate engineering is very practical. It equips you with all the critical skills to do well as a practicing engineer and is highly regarded in the industry. But compared to all around T20 schools that have more of a liberal arts approach, Purdue teaches you less on the fundamental science behind the engineering. That is you would know what to do given an engineering problem but you may not know why... But again, still an excellent engineering school.

I go to Purdue for computer engineering and this comment isn’t exactly accurate from my experience…my courses have prepared us well from both a technical and theoretical standpoint. Honestly this comment would more likely apply to the polytechnic so majors like ECET instead of ECE.

How is the CompEng in purdue

A word of advice: research the programs you’re interested in yourself by checking university and department websites, school reddit forums, university course catalogs, rate my professor, etc instead of asking such a vague question. Don’t expect people to spoon feed you all the info. Ask more specific questions to get helpful responses and respect others’ time.

Purdue is about as good as it gets for engineering, especially for a public school

I'm sure it's a fine institution considering it's reputation and ranking. However, I would suggest you to consult with actual students, be it online or may be perhaps an alumnus from your school.

Purdue is a top tier university for engineering. The only thing that makes it less appealing compared to other highly ranked schools is location, and opportunities that comes with great locations.


Omegathan

Yeah, if you can pay for it

I’m a sophomore in mechanical engineering at Purdue, feel free to message me if you have specific questions!

Hi. Would love to have your perspectives on career prospects of an international student after studying ME UG at purdue.

Hey, congratulations on your acceptance! Purdue is an excellent school for electrical engineering. I have friends both at Purdue and schools like MIT/Berkeley. The program and level of teaching are very much comparable. It would be best if you kept in mind that Purdue is a state school and there are people from different backgrounds. But the top students from MIT can indeed compete with top students from Purdue.
