Purdue University
Freshman at Purdue University
My name is Sydney, and I'm a freshman at Purdue University. I came to this school from CT because of its exceptional academic programs and welcoming community. I am involved in multiple clubs as well as Greek life. I believe my newer perspectives on the school will help any possible student truly learn about what it is like as an incoming freshman.

Describe your college experience
My transition has been good but a challenge the distance from my home. I was far from home and didn't know anyone else when I arrived here. Almost everyone from my high school stayed in-state. I have been able to meet great people here so far. I have been getting very involved and absolutely love all of the organizations I am in. The academics can be challenging, but learning how to study correctly and put work in is part of any college experience.
Tip for future students
I would have prepared some study methods and started studying earlier for my first exam.
Favorite class
My favorite class so far has been ANSC 102 (Introduction to Animal Agriculture)
Career goals
I plan to go to vet school and become a large animal or wildlife veterinarian.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Going out and spending time with friends.
