Challenging Thoughts and Workload
Aerospace engineering at Purdue is competitive and demands a high workload to get good grades. While some classes within the major may only require 2-3 hours a week outside of lectures, others can require over 10 hours a week just for homework. Most professors are easily accessibly and do a good job of explaining questions, and if you get to know them well enough, you may be able to get an undergraduate research job working alongside them.

Drinking on Campus
Purdue has it's own dedicated police department, but they do not overtly try to enforce the law, particularly regarding underage drinking. "Dry" fraternity houses still contain alcohol, and almost every weekend features a party with freshman drinking.

Morning Black Ice
In the morning, black ice can be present on some of the sidewalks near the street. With classes starting at 7:30, this can be a danger, particularly when walking down from the parking lot at the football stadium.
