the social scene is so much better. Greek life plays a big part but it is much less dominant than it is at Purdue. At IU, you can go either way and still have a great time whereas at Purdue going Greek is almost a social necessity. IU has one of the best house party scenes in the country, but if your a frat guy you have plenty of great options.
Purdue's social scene might not be top notch, but going greek is far from a social necessity.
West Lafayette is a dump, so is Bloomington but BTown still has that great, legitimate "college town" feel that is severely lacking at Purdue
Any school in Indiana is going to suffer from the fact that outside of campuss virtually nothing exists. Purdue's campus feels like a true college campus and is one of the nicest I've ever seen
Little 500, nuff said
Purdue Grand Prix?
Academics are in general better (with the exception of engineering of which there is no program at IU)
IU has one of the top business schools in the nation
see here...http://kelley.iu.edu/about/rankings.html
IU also has the #1 music school, one of the tops SPEA programs in the nation, and other great programs in both the sciences and humanities
Overall:
Purdue: #68
IU: #75
Job recruiters ranked Krannert School of Management (Purdue) third in a 2012 Bloomberg Businessweek national survey of undergraduate business schools
Athletics. yes we know IU football is generally bad but look at Purdue as of late. need I mention IU basketball? IU soccer won the national championship last year, baseball was close and the track team is always good. The tailgates and general environment are awesome.
Purdue has won more big ten basketball titles than any other schoool. Including IU. and Purdue football is always better than IU. If you want to include all of the other sports that no one cares about then the schools have split the yearly series 3-3 over the last 6 years.
Facilities - 2 huge rec centers and tons of intramurals
awesome libraries with great resources/help
Professors - experts in their fields, top notch

You say this like Purdue doesn't have all of those things.

you're a joker, aren't you? take some time to actually look through these links, from credible sources. When you're done... shove your worthless Purdue degree up your azz and go have fun at your $40k a year "marketing" job, or transfer/switch majors to engineering while you still have the chance. By the way, the year is 2013

Have a great day.

This guy is seriously comparing the Little 500 to the Purdue Grand Prix? Little 5 is THE best college weekend/event/tradition in the country, the Purdue Prix shouldn't even be mentioned in the same SENTENCE as Little 5, its a disgrace.
I went to ND, and all the college kids in Indiana regardless of school (from Purdue, Ball State, ND, Wabash, DePauw, ISU) would go to Little 5 because it was just that awesome, and they still do. I visited friends at both Purdue and IU, and hands down I would give the nod to IU in terms of academics, athletics, and fun.
Are you talking about Charlotte here?
Purdue in Indiana. It sucks.
Yes, Purdue sucks.
Sadly, the perception of colleges in the Midwest from Midwesterners:
Top Tier: Northwestern, U Chicago, Michigan, Notre Dame, Washington University
Second Tier: The other "Big Ten" Schools, Marquette and every other school with good athletics programs people have heard of
Third Tier: All the schools without good athletics who no one has heard of nationally
Purdue lovers are fairies.
What is sad is that a IU athlete, student or graduate started this thread. I guess when your life sucks, you start threads of those you are envious of.
I'm not envious of anyone. I had frustrations today about being bullied, but I don't feel any anger to get back at anyone. I just want everyone to leave me alone because I don't want to be involved with a group that is acting that way. I am almost indifferent about the tactics and hurtful comments. I think I've built a resilience to that sort of thing. It really has not been a bad day for me. I chilled out, relaxed and played on LR, took a long shower. I have a great job I'll be starting soon.
This will all blow over. I didn't do anything legally wrong, or really anything wrong except for not seeing that I was being open with someone who would use it against me. And I refused to talk down about people; they can't get me on defamation either.
I am feeling pretty good.
I guess Purdue is the place to go if you actually want to make boilers. Or drink Boilermakers. Or do both at the same time. Which would lead to deficient boilers being made.
PU stinks
I agree.
Even my daughter knows that Purdue sucks. (don't worry, very short video)
Purdue really does suck, at least in comparison to IU
If you're not there for engineering you're a complete f*cking moron
I can't express how happy I am this thread was revived.
