Absolutely true about them!!! I am an online student and you are correct, they care nothing about their students, just money

Wow thanks for sharing these honest experiences guys! As an international student, I am applying for next year and have heard many great things about purdue, and that it also gives great aids and even full rides. Was positive and seriously considering it, but thanks to the Internet we get insights like these and can be careful and know what we are getting into!

@@immaculate6244 as an international student at Purdue, there's a lot of factors to consider. It's an excellent school for the price, with great faculty. Administrative issues like this video only affect a small subset of incoming undergraduate freshmen.

Why did you stay there then? Must have been something good that kept you there.

They did. And it wasn't enough still.

Purdue is still a top college tho

They built two new dorms last year, but then accepted even more students to create the same problem.

They’d rather build apartments and houses that are still run by the college so they can get even more noney

It's the real cost of freezing tuition every year since 2013. They have to make up the money somehow and are doing it by admitting way more students. Purdue should do what other universities have done as a happy medium: tuition still goes up every year, but you pay the same tuition rate for four years (so it doesn't raise on you during your time in college). Your senior year tuition is the same as freshman year.

We're definitely not paying 50,000 in tuition

@@matthewboxberger5549 the state pays for a lot but over 4 years you get up to 50k. Blame it on corrupt government enforcing communistic monopolies for colleges causing unrealistic pricing. Back in the 70s it was cheap because colleges didn't have a monopoly on jobs.

@@matthewboxberger5549 full expenses for Purdue as am out of state student is 43k for a year, so its not that far off

@UCKM8WfiqghKmwrfptiEcFlA OOS is you twit. Be considerate.

Also, in the military, you are not expected to do tasks that require concentration in your high capacity barracks. You are required to clean and maintain the barracks, as well as sleep there, but any studying that may be required happens in a different room. Some people on bases may refer to the area they sleep and study as barracks, but these are the low capacity version, with 1 or 2 people per bedroom. It's not a lot of space, but it's the size of what a college freshman would expect to receive for the amount of money they paid their university. A more multi functional space must be a more private space, even the military understands this. I don't know why Perdue can't accommodate this.

It’s cost effective for everybody but the students, unfortunately. This also depends on where you go, though.

I'm going to college soon so I can't say yet, but I think you eventually become so used to their presence you stop caring. Sort of like in the military when you're in those barracks for the first two months of training.

@@daemonzap1481 you don’t stop caring when you have exams and tonnes of home work. You don’t stop caring when you’re paying thousands for a room and you end up sharing a dormitory. It’s a huge deal especially for young adult. You can’t compare army barracks which most people wouldn’t sign up for to uni halls which must be a suitable learning environment

@@cecyliamaiden1973 true but I got stuck with another dude in a tiny dorm so I guess I've got to adjust.

@@cecyliamaiden1973 when u got exams and a ton of homework u go to the library in america

@@catrice1296 so you’re paying for a dorm that you can’t even study in? That’s ridiculous

No, only forcing our kids to either take an experimental jab or not go to college. My step son is taking his Juinior year at IUPUI off cuz if their totalitarian bul$hit

right 😬 have a feeling a bunch of colleges are gonna have to switch to online cuz of that

@@ColdNoodlz ugh I hope not :(

My exact thought

@@FJB-1776 Good. I imagine that his peers are relieved they won’t have to share a room with someone that chooses to be a risk to others.

Ya purdue freshman here and they are almost paying full prices for this

@@kendalljayecox5295 thats insane!!

Is it as bad as Purdue? I was planning to apply to uw Madison.

@@andrewmargolis9224 it's much better than purdue dw

I’m gonna be a freshman this fall at UW Madison and I heard that they’re turning local hotels into dorm rooms

@@bellef7687 this is much better than putting 10 people into a dorm like purdue. Also, they're just turning a really good university hotel into a dorm which is defi a W

@Dhanvi Bharadwaj True

Ucf dorms are pretty shitty too, just not this shitty. Libra was the worst with a bad roommate

@@peterjung2946 my roommate is pretty decent and respectful so I guess I got lucky.

Housing doesn't need to be fancy, yet these colleges spend millions on a brick in the pathway. So what they need to do is build cheaper housing and the government needs to increase spending on education. The solution is NOT to raise prices in order to shut out poor students, which is what you are suggesting.

I’m a freshman this year and I still have no where to go. Absolutely no where. I tried apartments and they’re all gone, too.

Price sensitivity isn’t that high for students to go somewhere because of a tuition freeze though. A thousand dollars is a thousand dollars, but if it’s a good college…

@@athenagreen5390 I fully agree. Colleges compete like Disney World and Universal Studios. It’s more about having the shiniest building and the most unique thing to market to prospective students, not enriching the lives of current students. Like many other commenters said: colleges destroy a section of campus for at least a year and congest campus with construction and traffic all so they can say “look! Our new dorms have built in bike garages and we have a lazy river in the shape of our school’s letters!”

@@Whoknows-mf1cv What the hell are you talking about? Most colleges do not spend money on that, and most students don't have time for that nonsense.

It is disgusting that America's education system is so broken, yet no one wants to fix it

Everyone knows that other colleges are doing this shit. It’s just that Purdue got caught in the act.

Jen C, is he going to Purdue or another university?

Is it co-ed at least lol

My university is doing the same

In Europe, not as many people have access to higher education. In Germany, if you don't pass the current test issued at age 10, you're basically locked out. As for studying, there's many places as well as the libraries, starbucks, study rooms, wherever you want kind of. The lawns, parks, other friends' places. A lot of places have single rooms for people or places where you have your own separate space behind a single door with a shared bathroom and kitchenette - kind of like a small one roomed apartment.

Purdue has been offering subpar education for years, even before the pandemic. They ought to switch out Daniels or shut down.

Purdue student here: this isn't the reality for most people. Well, in some cases. You can get unlucky and be set up like this, but it won't last and you'll get the better housing within a year. I wouldn't pick this school if it's not good for your major though lol

@@madman4043 I want to go for engineering but thanks

@@madman4043 Hey quick question- are there singles available at Purdue Housing?

@@mattiabinnoto8620 yep, but they are rare. the most common ones are rooms for 2 (2 people in 1 room)

@@ajohnson2344 recent graduate in ece here. First year maybe you can manage if you’re not taking engineering courses. But starting second year unless you’re absolutely genius, get a decent dorm or move off campus, otherwise it will be hell for you to pull a decent GPA

You realize these kids (or parents) are paying big bucks for this? They didn't enlist in the army, they are paying for this

You were getting paid for that, not paying thousands. It is a problem.

You’re a great example of someone that clearly was not smart enough for college, and soaked up by the military sponge

You enlisted and were paid to live like that. Can’t compare to this.

@@ternedo6074 given I have my MBA, I don't understand what your trying to say. BTW the things i learned in the army has been alot more useful then all the classes i have taken.
