What would you tell prospective students about Purdue?

Do not underestimate yourself because you are the only person who can attain your goals in order to succeed in life. Be honest with yourself & don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it

What is the most interesting thing you’ve learned or seen as a tour guide at Purdue?

I learned that Purdue was created as a land grant school for the state of Indiana. The water pump outside of stone hall (formerly the women's residence hall) was actually a place for the girls to see their boyfriends by saying they wanted a drink of water due to their set curfews.

What is your favorite spot on campus?

HSSE library- I love to look at the mural painted directly above it!
