And when you’re ready for a road trip or crave a more metropolitan vibe than one of America’s top-ranked college towns, it’s only a 60-mile drive south from West Lafayette to Indianapolis or 120 miles north to Chicago — two cities that offer virtually any entertainment fix you desire. Purdue’s proximity to these cities also provides vast opportunities for professional development, including participation in industry organizations, conference attendance, research presentations, and cross-institution collaboration.
