Boiler Up! Purdue University is home to the Boilermakers sports teams, with a spot in the Big Ten Conference. Founded in 1869, Purdue is a public research university so renowned for its engineering programs that the official mascot, the Boilermaker Special, has a locomotive design to honor the prestigious engineering programs. However, Purdue offers more than 200 undergraduate majors and consistently ranks on various “best of” lists.
Although no students are required to live on campus, about one-third of undergraduate students do. There are also a variety of options for living in cooperative and off-campus housing as well as fraternities and sororities.
With over 900 student organizations, lecture series, art galleries, and musical and theatrical performances, there’s no shortage of things to do at Purdue. The annual Spring Fest is a two-day event drawing thousands of participants with a range of attractions hosted by Purdue departments and schools. The Grand Prix is a 50-mile go-kart race featuring karts made from scratch by student teams to raise money for scholarships.
