New to Purdue and Indiana too

Welcome to West Lafayette, Indiana!

Greetings out-of-state students! We want to take the opportunity to welcome you to Indiana and to help you explore the local Purdue community.

Within this page you will find information on: traveling to and from the area; things to do in local cities like Indianapolis and Chicago; how to register to vote in Indiana or obtain an absentee ballot; and how to get around town. You will also find helpful hints from current out of state students.

If you have any questions, take a look at our HelpDesk, and "Ask Purdue Pete".
