These rental management companies that run basically every property around Purdue are such a nightmare to deal with. I'm currently renting with BK Management, and unfortunately they're even worse than when I used to live in a Granite property. I graduate in December and am moving back to my home state, but my lease goes until July, and I can't find anyone to sublet. Has anyone figured out a way to break their lease with these evil property management companies?

They won't even forgo my fixed $150 utility fee for the months where I won't be on the premises. I can't afford to keep paying this on top of my already way too high rent every month. According to them, there is no fee or anything that I can pay to break the lease early. I know there are a lot of elements in my lease that are actually illegal, but I don't think any of that is grounds to leave. If anyone has been in a similar situation (or know someone who has), I would love to hear how you were able to get out of a lease or at least lessen the crushing costs.

for rising sophomores that selected their housing today, are there still suites like freida or winifred left? does the portal reserve small portions of each dorm for each time slot or is everything first come first serve based on luck?

Hello!

So my group and I made an error and we forgot to fill out the honors housing form that would guarantee us honors housing. Can we email them and be on a waitlist or something or what would be a solution?

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

MISSING VOLPAM ELECTRIC SCOOTER — KNOY HALL, PURDUE

My VOLPAM SP06 electric scooter disappeared outside Knoy Hall between 11:00 PM, Oct. 23 and 2:30 AM, Oct. 24, 2026.

Strangely, a Segway scooter was left in its place, secured with my original, undamaged light-green cable lock. My helmet was still there too.

The Segway was also removed between 9:00 AM, Oct. 26 and 12:40 AM, Oct. 27.

My Toyota Corolla recently broke down and won't start at all. When I turn the key, nothing happens. A friend and I tried checking the battery, and it seems fine. We also tried jump-starting it, but unfortunately that didn't work either.

I don't really know anyone around here who's good with cars, so I figured I'd ask here. If anyone has experience working on cars and could help me figure out what's wrong, or at least get it started temporarily so I can drive it to a mechanic, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm more than happy to pay you something for your time and help if you can get it running!

Feel free to comment or DM me if you think you could help. Thanks!

4. Leadership Development
Describe a leadership experience you have had in your school or community. How did this shape your approach to leadership? (200 word maximum)

When it says community, does it mean local, or could it be something u did statewide with other students? Like i guess my question is how large of a commuinty?

Im looking for a ride to chicago for the hallween festivities on the 31st. I can pay gas and snacks. Lmk

Legendary exam scheduling.. Not like half the class is leaving the friday before thanksgiving break 🫩

does anyone have a cs 177 textbook that i can use for the next exam? even if i can get it after your exam is over that would be amazing 🙏🙏

im the M/W 12:30 section

Has anyone taken BCHM 100 before or is taking it right now? I’m aiming for a 70+ on the midterm. Would reviewing the exam review be enough?

I'm walking down campus need song suggestions.

Gimme non English for the fun of it

So I signed up for reapplication and apparently I chose the express placement option where it just places me automatically. I’m in a good dorm but me and my roommate were planning on living together again next year and I’m just wondering if I was gonna try and change my assignment on the 30th if we would still have a chance to room together?

Hey everyone, I'm an ECE grad student considering switching from my GRA position to CPT for Spring, and I'm trying to figure out the timing and tuition implications.

Aside from the current CPT issues, my main concern is tuition remission. From what I understand, as an F-1 student, I still need to be enrolled in at least 8 credits, which means I'd have to pay tuition if I lose my GRA remission. I've heard that Purdue has a strict 6-week rule where you need to maintain your GRA appointment for at least the first 6 weeks of the semester to keep your tuition remission.

Has anyone actually switched from GRA to CPT in the middle of a semester? If you leave your GRA after the first 6 weeks, do you get to keep the tuition remission for that semester, or does Purdue still revoke it? I asked my department office, but they didn't seem to have a clear answer either.

Are there good places on campus for trims for men’s curly/wavy hair? I had a bad experience freshman year and haven’t tried any other places on campus.

Thinking back to that 182 midterm how do we think we did chat❓❓❓

Trying to finally confirm the one true engineering breadth that won't make people go bald.

I am a sophomore looking to graduate in three years. I am planning to take 18 credits in the spring:

ME375 (controls 2)

ME323 (mechanics of materials)

ME308 (Fluid mechanics)

MSE230 (Structures and properties of materials)

HIST387 (Space age history or something)

ME 498 (undergrad research year 1)

I am considering swapping the history class for ME364, as it would mean I get a load of classes out of the way. I don't know if this is the wisest decision, though.

The only reason that I am considering this is because I've not had a bad time with classes that other complain about, such as ECE2k1 or thermo. That being said, if a student has gotten far enough to complain about these classes, they probably have reasonable grit.

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone! I wanted to see if anyone had advice for a freshman who is having a rough time right now. I’m majoring in Pre-Pharmacy so my course load right now is pretty heavy, especially since I took a lot of dual credit and high school and am taking classes for my second year. I haven’t done the best on exams, despite going to tutoring, SI sessions, doing review questions, especially for CHEM129 and BIO110. The bad grades on top of the constant academic stress is really getting to me emotionally. I feel like I have no time for myself or friends because I’m always trying to get work done or get extra help to try and understand. I’m really passionate about becoming a pharmacist, but I’m starting to question if this is just too much. I’m like wow if I can’t handle my first semester how am I going to handle the rest. If anyone felt this way their first semester, didn’t have the best semester academically could you share some advice? I’m not failing classes, but my lowest grade is a C+ in bio. I’m just wondering if anyone could share some advice on what I can do to either perform better for exams other than what I’m already doing and/or how to stop feeling so sad and overwhelmed 24/7.

Hey guys my baby brother is considering Purdue for Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics. I don't know much about that at Purdue so I was hoping some of y'all could help answer some questions?

- Is there anything specific he should know or write about when applying ? What do they look for ?

- What facilities, programs, or co-op opportunities do you think make Purdue superior to other schools, specifically for mechanical engineering?

Is this degree useless for airline management? I keep on applying and getting final rounds of interviews but I still keep on getting passed up by MBA majors, business majors, CS majors, etc.

I felt this for a very long time, as far back as my first day at purdue, but my fears are confirmed, and that is that this major is kinda useless if you want to work on the corporate side for an airline. I ignored it bc I was like "well if you havent tried it you wont know, maybe you'll do amazing and get a lot of offers"

Come to right now I realize I was right all along, and I am starting to regret attending Purdue. Low quality classes, no data analysis skills, most of the content pretains to airports and the operations side of airlines, not business analytics which is important for roles like revenue management and network planning.

I feel super hopeless. Combined with my family's financial situation and personal life stressors, I feel like I am failing and end up flipping burgers after I graduate...

But I guess, I leave the floor up to you. For people in airline management, has purdue helped you? Or is this program as bad as it feels to me right now?

So my entire day was ruined when I just realized I screwed up my laptop screen and now it keeps glitching…so that’s great😔 Does anyone know somewhere on or around campus to maybe get it fixed?

Basically what the title says, dm if interested!! Open to anyone and all majors
