Today we all went with Cal to visit Purdue University. Cal had mentioned several months ago that he would be interesting in attending Purdue and we agreed to take a look at it with him. Doug and I have been there several times for academic super bowl and chess tournaments. Cal had never been.
We started first on a walking tour of the academic portion of campus. The school definitely had a lot of avenues to pursue and succeed academically. About 25% of the students are engineering majors, and there is a heavy focus on science and math. After the walking tour we headed inside for a slide show presentation. We found that part a little long. Once that was over we were back outside. The rain did not slow us down as we toured the residence halls. We also caught a glimpse of the recreation center before heading back to the Purdue Memorial Union.
Overall, we were all impressed with the university. We could see Cal fitting in there well. It is only two hours and twenty minutes away. We could easily head down for a daytrip. Applications go live on August 1st and Cal definitely would like to apply. We can't argue with that.
