      Challenging, but rewarding

      Graduate fellow

      Pros

      Working as a graduate student at Purdue has been a rewarding experience; I have been given a lot of flexibility and freedom to research topics that are interesting to me, and the professors and staff members are generally friendly and helpful.

      Cons

      Purdue's graduate program is challenging, and the guidance I have received has not always been specific enough. It can be frustrating to be given virtually no instructions, and expected to deliver a product of a high calibre. The pay is also quite low (although adequate as a stipend given the location).

      Unfulfilled promise

      Faculty

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are many good people working at PUC: they're smart, upbeat, and enthusiastic, with lots of energy. Many students are first-generation college students and are people trying to change the trajectory of their and their families' lives. Because of this, there's tremendous opportunity to help people and to make a difference in their lives.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the school suffers from severe morale problems. There have been massive cutbacks and cutting of resources, to the point that they have all but stopped doing basic things like collecting garbage from offices and classrooms. Many teaching positions have been axed (as well, many people have fled to other institutions or taken early retirement) as management and administration continues to balloon in size. Expectations, evaluation, and promotion decisions are massively uneven and have little to do with merit.
