She ]will be asked to declare preferred housing soon, and we don't ]know one dorm from another. ]Purdue students, what do you recommend? She knows she has to ]study, although she'd probably like to party all the time. I'm ]not paying for a four-year party, however, so she has to keep her ]grades up to keep the bucks flowing. What dorms are a good mix ]of party/study? She also hates creepy crawlies. What dorms are ]the cleanest? Where would you want to live if you were her (keep ]in mind you are posting this to her MOTHER). If you are looking for an all woman dorm try Earhart. The ones to avoid are the older ones such as Duhme, and rest of that complex. The are the part of the original buildings (or at least close). If she is looking for a co-ed dorm try one of the H-halls (try Harrison). These are clean, and contained very friendly people, at least when I lived there they did. The co-ed part is nothing to worry about, its guys on one half of the building and gals on the other, with escorts required at ALL times. Another nice thing Purdue provide, although it sounds horrible to most people at first, are the suites. Theses consist of 10 people in 4 rooms. (If they still have them, there was talk of doing away with them.) This allows you to meet 9 other people right away and allows you to have at least someone to eat with when the schedules conflict. When I was at Purdue I lived in Harrison, and enjoyed both years, before I moved out to live in the fraternity house. All in all, most of the dorms are ok. Just remember, your daughter is not at home any more, and no matter where she lives, she will always be able to find a party somewhere within walking distance. Hope this helps.
