- Notes
- TTPB asking about Purdue WL compared to Purdue Fort Wayne. I agree mostly with the poster below who mentioned about the group of students in the university. Being a graduate who completed my bachelors from Purdue Fort Wayne, I can say that it is a great place for study though cannot be compared to Purdue West Lafayette. There are a few very good professors who offer good courses and there is a lot of scope for self-study courses that you can take up if you are interested in a particular subject. Regarding the professors and the CS department, they are extremely supportive and helpful. The class sizes are also pretty small and the professors are very approachable. The university was taken over completely by Purdue last year (was a joint university between IU and Purdue earlier) after which it is receiving great amount of funding and is growing at a rapid pace. Local companies are also increasing support to the CS department though there are not many who hire international students in Fort Wayne. However, there are many students who found jobs quickly after completing their degrees and I myself received multiple job offers. You can also attend career fairs and other events organized by Purdue West Lafayette which is greatly beneficial. I feel that if the other university that you have is better than Purdue Fort Wayne (in terms of location and local industries), then do go for it. With Purdue Fort Wayne, you always get the same Purdue degree with lesser cost.
