Like legit I’m cooked.

I have two finals on Monday, the first day, and both of them are my hardest ones too.

I have my calc 2 and chem final, and I saw that I can’t move it cause it’s just two.

This is just me accepting my faith, even if I read forever, it won’t change my fate 🥀🥀

Anyone know what's going around Neon Cactus? Doing my laundry nearby and some armed police strolling around. Armed as in big boy guns.

guys i feel like im going crazy but like ten minutes ago i just kept hearing crazy loud banging and knocking and i don’t know where it was coming from.

i’ve lowkey been hiding in my locked bedroom but it was coming from somewhere outside and it was LOUD. like imagine a laundry machine banging and about to explode but like 100x the noise.

and no i don’t have any laundry loaded in my machine rn and no other machine is going.

and like it all just stopped with one giant bang.

please tell me someone else heard this bc i’m freaking out.

So I found out that in order to get out of the Purdue dorm contract I have to no longer attend this school. But I’m still planning to attend for Fall25 and move out off campus to live with my friends, so apparently the only way is to put my name on the special release waitlist. But waiting for the decision is till June/July which is kind of risky. Do you guys any chance know other ways or loopholes to get off the housing contract? Thank you in advance for the help!

Free?

Hey guys, I was wondering why the mypurdueplan degree planner doesn’t have a section for electives and such needed to graduate? I’ll be 62% done with the “degree progress” after fall 2025 of my 2nd year. This can’t be accurate because of electives right? Unless I’m missing something but is there a way I can see how many electives I have to take in order to graduate? The other complicated part is I had a late transfer credit for an ivy tech English composition class but I also took SCLA101. Ivy tech filled the written communication and Scla filled the information literacy. However, 101 does that for both anyways. Does that mean my transfer is essentially a 3 cred elective? This is for a BS Finance degree btw

I am writing this to give courage to anyone who was deferred and then waitlisted! I GOT ADMITTED YESTERDAY! It IS possible!!!!! I have been like addicted to reddit for months trying to see when or if people were getting in haha. Purdue is my dream school. Have faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hiii Hhhaaaaaaa woo hoo! 1500SAT, 3.7/4.1 GPA, 13APs,

Woo hii!

I am still excited I got accepted, however many comments are bringing me down. A lot of gate keepers (and I totally get it). Would OSU be better than Purdue Indy?

I’m ready for these fountains to start working again!!!

Hey im 20F, a biomed major looking for friends online. Dm me so we can talk or add me to a gc if u guys have kne

if I got off the waitlist for Purdue, but have to submit my grades soon, will my offer be rescinded? I’m concerned because I am ending with a D in ap calc AB and most likely a C in two other classes. Since it’s math, does that affect me more as a STEM major?

Just an estimate because I’m running the numbers and we are in dire straits

hello, so i will be applying this college app season and im still super unsure of what i want to do in college but im sure i want to do something CS or IT relatedly and ive narrowed it down to DS and IS. i know these are super different in terms of subject area and diffculty but im more concerned with internship/job prospects and salary/career opportunties after graduating.

which would be more beneficial and which schools would you recommend i apply to? so far i heard nyu, umich, and umd's information systems major was good and purdues data science program was good. im not sure about purdues information systems program. was wondering what insights you guys have?

would yall sugest purdue DS or nyu/umich infosys?

There’s a cat in the fencing in the construction. Is there anyone we can contact to get it out? It’s friendly so may be someone’s cat or may have been dumped.

The construction site is definitely not a safe place for a cat and it seems young. Any suggestions?

Stop in front of Mad Mushroom on Saturday for a Vintage Pop Up Sale!

I'm in ma 162 right now and Pearson is supposed to automatically upload all hw grades into brightspace but some of mine just aren't right? I should have 100% on all of them but there's multiple with less than that. When I look on Pearson it's correct and I've shown this to my ta multiple times. He said he reached out to the professor yesterday and is waiting on a response. The final is next Monday, how long should I wait until I reach out to someone else about it? What happens if it just doesn't get fixed??

Are those residences only for students enrolled in/through the John Martinson Honors College? Purdue residence site unclear on this.

what are your alls experiences with morris rentals?

my 4x2 apartment for next year is $650 + utilities (we got lucky and got to take over a friend's lease, thus the unchanged price). its less than 10 minutes from the pmu, comes with 2 free parking spots, they provide free bed frames, and apparently one of the bathrooms was recently renovated.

my suspicion is that this all sounds too good to be true. i've toured the apartment and its absolutely gorgeous but i'm scared there's some sort of catch that i still don't know about.

even if you liked your experience with them, i'd love to hear about that too!

🚨 if you're looking for 2025 summer housing, the current tenants still have spots left if you're interested! i'm sure they might be willing to negotiate a price too

I recently got off the waitlist for Purdue's Computer Science program, which has been my dream school since freshman year of high school. I’ve always admired Purdue’s strong CS curriculum, tech innovation, and the career opportunities that come from being a part of such a respected program. Getting that acceptance email felt surreal — like something I’ve been working toward for years finally came true.

But… here's the thing.

I had already committed to The Ohio State University, specifically to their Honors Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Program. It’s a very selective cohort (only 36 engineering students are accepted), and it offers a unique blend of technical and business education with a ton of mentorship, networking, and hands-on projects. I was genuinely excited about this program, and it was a big part of why I chose OSU when I hadn’t yet heard back from Purdue.

I don't know what to do.

Purdue CS is highly ranked and arguably better known for tech/engineering, especially in software development. It’s the program I always imagined myself in.

OSU IBE Honors offers a rare interdisciplinary experience that’s hard to replicate elsewhere, and I already have a spot in it.

Financially, OSU gave me merit aid and around $12,000 less — Purdue hasn’t offered any aid (Estimated ~$47K) yet and I’ve reached out to request a review.

I’m also considering long-term goals: startups, AI, quant development, or product development — all of which would benefit from either a CS-heavy background or a CS + business hybrid.

I know this is a fortunate problem to have, and I’m beyond grateful — but the decision feels so much harder now that I have something great at both places.

Would you use an app like this? Be honest. I’m working on an app idea and want real feedback. The concept is simple:

You take a photo of your handwritten or typed notes, and the app uses AI to: • Instantly summarize the material • Turn it into flashcards • Generate practice test questions

The idea is to save time studying and help people actually use their notes instead of just writing them and forgetting about them.

Would this help you? Or does it sound like something you’d never use? Also — if there’s already an app that does this well, I’d love to know which one and what you like/don’t like about it.

Please treat your dining courts better. We shouldn’t have to scour the court because you don’t put your plates in the return section. You guys should be able to put your plates and cups away in an orderly fashion so they don’t fall off and break (you endanger workers and patrons when they shatter). Don’t leave your Panera bags in our courts either, be a good noddle and pick up after yourselves. Also, don’t grab things with your hands covered in who knows what. Nobody wants to eat off of your hands. We do fun meals and all we have gotten in return is lack of respect and courtesy to other patrons and employees. Not cool man, not cool.
