The United States has the world's top higher education resources and is the first choice for many international students. But the high cost also causes headaches for many people.
A report published by Business InsiderThe average tuition fee for public universities in the United States is $8,202 per year, and the cost of private universities is $21,189 per yearLeading the world. And the cost of studying in the U.S. is rising every year!
Against such a background,Purdue University, which has not raised tuition fees for 11 consecutive years, is too conscientious!
On December 3, 2021, the Purdue University Board of Trustees announced a series of benefits for students, faculty, and staff at the West Lafayette campusThis includes 10 consecutive years of no increase in university accommodation at the West Lafayette campus** and tuition fees that will remain at 2012-13 levels. In other words, Purdue University will not increase tuition for 11 consecutive years!
Considering the financial challenges faced by students, Purdue University has made "making students readable" as its primary teaching purpose. Not increasing tuition fees is the school's greatest care for students!
Purdue University is a state university system with six campuses, and when we often refer to Purdue University, we generally refer to the West Lafayette campus.
In 2024us.News' list of the best colleges in the United States, Purdue's West Lafayette campus ranked 43rd. It's not very eye-catching, but it's not bad. It is understood that the reason why Purdue University performs so well in the ranking is actually because the faculties are incomplete, because there is no medical school, law school, architecture school, and ** college, so it does not have an advantage in the comprehensive ranking.
Although it has just entered the top fifty, butPurdue University not only has a very strong science and engineering program, but also its ten colleges - the College of Engineering, the College of Agriculture, the College of Pharmacy, the College of Technology, and the College of Veterinary Medicine - are ranked among the top 10 in the United States.
The school has produced 13 Nobel laureatesDeng Jiaxian, the well-known father of China's two bombs, and Liang Sili, a rocket expert, are also well-known alumni of the school.
The most special thing about Purdue is that the school has an airport and offers flying lessonsStudents can take this course, learn to fly an airplane, and pass the exam to obtain a pilot license. Here, quite a few students have pilot licenses, and even the school offers small aircraft for rent.
At Purdue, extracurricular life is also very rich. There are more than 1,000 clubs in the school, and you can join if you are interested. Most clubs charge a fee at the beginning, and then use these fees to organize activities, which is a good place for students to make foreign friends.
Speaking of which, you should also have a certain understanding of Purdue University. For such a prestigious school, the application conditions are naturally not low.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Purdue University has implemented a test-flexible policy that recommends that applicants submit SAT ACT test scores, but they are not a mandatory requirement.
But in November 2022, Purdue University announced that it would reinstate standardized test score submission requirements beginning the 2023-24 application season, requiring all applicants to submit SAT ACT test scoresThe original text is as follows:
While SAT ACT scores are part of the application process, Purdue University also stated that "we expect applicants to submit SAT ACT test scores, but we understand that there may be special circumstances where applicants may not be able to take standardized tests, in which case we still accept applications through the Common App for applicants who do not have standardized test scores." ”
In the past application season, nearly three-quarters of applicants chose to submit standardized test scores. The average GPA of freshmen in this cohort of students enrolled in the fall of 2022 is 374, with an average SAT score of 1317 and an average ACT score of 298。Of the students enrolled in the fall of 2022, 824% submitted SAT or ACT scores.
Although studying in the U.S. is expensive overall, there are some cost-effective options. Moreover, there is a big difference in tuition fees between different majors at the same university.
