Personal recommendation
Purdue has a lot to offer students. It is a college town, college lifestyle. I am very glad I selected this university. It was close to big cities, yet far enough to feel safe and carefree. People in Indiana, and I guess the Mid West in general were very friendly, I never had a bad experience. Everyone was wanting to know where I was from, and were genuine. When it begins to snow it gets a bit much walking from Hilltop to class, but manageable. Good selection of bars and a good nightlife. I am sure if I was there longer the bars would have gotten old, but for a semester it was very good. Before I went over I had no idea about Indiana. I know now I will never forget it.

Purdue is very good academically and has a very large international student population; however you have to make an effort sometimes to meet new people and have a good social life, to be honest I wouldn't recommend it highly for a study abroad experience

Make sure you get in early for classes, they fill up quickly. I did have some initial troubles getting in to my core subject.
