Take your time with the application and start early. My suggestion is to ask for recommendations and take the SAT or ACT during the spring semester of your junior year. As soon as the CommonApp or Coalition come out, complete that, so when college applications start rolling out, you're not as stressed. This can be a very overwhelming time in your life, but if you stay organized and work ahead, it'll be a breeze
Favorite Purdue Location: The Voss Model in Discovery Park is my favorite campus spot! I stumbled upon The Voss Model in Discovery Park during my freshman year. Being on the opposite side of campus, tucked away, I didn't realize this scaled model of our solar system sat on campus. This gorgeous model is not only breathtaking, but also very quiet due to its secluded location. After further research, I found out this model is dedicated to Purdue alumni, Janic Voss. Not only did she participate in NASA research, but she lived in space for 48 days!
