What is it like to study at Purdue University?

After two years of user experience, let me give a few chestnuts intermittently.

When I was in graduate school, the differences in life between undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students were quite large. When I browse Renren at night, I can constantly see the weird life of undergraduates, or the next morning my roommate (who is studying for a Ph.D.) will tell me while making sandwiches, “Damn it, did you know there were nude photos last night?” Fortunately, I right-clicked and saved two The photo album will be gone in minutes. You went to bed too early last night. My roommate is an awesome physicist who starts working at one or two in the middle of the night until noon the next day? Of course, the whole Purdue Chinese community was talking about it the next day. The protagonists of the story are three Man (?ω?)ノ

The life of a graduate student will be relatively monotonous. The moment you enter the school, you will be divided into several categories. You can study, get a degree, graduate, travel, and now you don’t know where you are. Of course This type of people already have green cards, and their worries at home no longer include money; there is another type like me, who simply don’t think it’s reliable to stay in Midi with this major, so I should finish reading and broaden my horizons. When I returned to China to make a living, I made a lot of friends, ranging from high school students to old professors. Since I had already realized that I couldn't stay, I have seen through some things. There is also a group of people who have high GPA and worked hard to stay. I There are very few people who can stay in their majors after completing graduate school. Due to time constraints, I only met one senior student, and now I am doing very well. I must also mention here some of the seniors who entered the school in the same batch and other senior brothers and sisters who have enthusiastically helped me. I miss you very much. How can I do it? I will always remember your warmth towards me, just like the World Cup in Brazil in July.

I have two roommates, the second one is also in graduate school, and his life is much better than mine. I didn’t buy a car, so in my spare time I just took my teacher Mr. Liao’s Grand Jetta into the city to refresh my understanding of the world. Every time I go to Chicago, it refreshes my world view. For example, the gang suddenly announced that from now on, they will "shoot randomly, no limit to the number."

The daily lives of doctoral students are harder than ours, but their free time is much more exciting than my childhood. New York Travel Series, Ambition in the Grand Canyon Series, One Night in Denver Series, Encountering Li Ergou in the Cornfield Series, On Why Google’s House Number is So Low-key Series, How I Was Trafficked to Milwaukee by Delta after Heavy Snow Covered the Mountains, and Legend of Autumn 10 The Drive to the Great Smoky Mountains series every hour, the Better to Stay at Home during the holidays series and my cooking skills have improved again series. In short, with Funding, the life of a doctoral student should not be too enviable.

Pudu Chinese have two groups, PUCSSA and UCA. They have a large population and love and kill each other. PUCSSA has become more popular recently. PUCSSA is the main organizer of new students pick-up, Mid-Autumn Festival Singer Contest, Spring Festival Gala, going to Midi School for social gatherings, Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping, etc.

In terms of learning, as a typical American science and engineering university, Purdue’s learning atmosphere is no different from other top 50 universities in the United States. PMU allows you to stay up all night and have an affair, Math allows you to play math, Physics allows you to experience nuclear reactions close at hand (this must be nonsense), Rec allows you to strengthen your body, Ford allows you to enjoy Chinese food, and Armstrong allows you to take major engineering classes.
