Bringing together the resources of cultural centers and diversity programs across campus, Purdue University’s Division of Diversity and Inclusion provides leadership in the building of a more diverse and inclusive campus community.

Students at Purdue participate in more than 900 student organizations that cover a variety of interests. Some of the notable clubs founded by Purdue students include the Purdue Reamer Club (a school spirit organization that cares for the Boilermaker Special mascot and raises funds for scholarships) and two clubs that eventually became nationwide organizations: the National Society of Black Engineers and the Rube Goldberg Machine Contest.

Several campus-wide programs are planned by the Purdue Alumni Association, Student Union Board and Purdue Student Government. Annual campus events include Boiler Gold Rush (Purdue's new-student orientation program), Spring Fest, and Grand Prix.

About one-third of the single undergraduate students on the West Lafayette campus are housed in University Residences. The rest live in fraternities, sororities, cooperatives, or private off-campus housing. There are about 12,000 spaces available for undergraduate students, graduate students, and student families who choose to live on campus.

There are 12 cooperative houses at Purdue (5 men's houses and 7 women's houses). The members take an active role in sharing chores and cooking all meals themselves, as opposed to hiring out cleaning and cooking staff.

91% of students are employed, freelancing, or continuing their education six months after graduation in 2016. Among the companies that employ NU students are companies such as Shell, Chevron, General Electric, Ford, Pepsico, Phillips, Cisco.

Graduate employment:  91%

Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States, is a public research university and is the main campus of the Purdue University system. It was founded in 1869 after a donation of land and money from Lafayette businessman John Purdue to establish a college of science, technology, and agriculture in his name. The first classes were held on September 16, 1874, with six instructors and 39 students.

Nowadays Purdue's international student enrollment is tops among U.S. public universities. In its 2017 edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked Purdue University as tied for the 20th-best public university in the United States.

Two chemical faculty members have been awarded Nobel Prizes while at Purdue. Purdue alumni have achieved recognition in a range of areas, particularly in the science, engineering, and aviation industries. The university's alumni pool collectively holds over 15,000 United States patents.

Purdue has produced 23 astronauts, including Gus Grissom, America's second man in space and first to fly in NASA's program, Neil Armstrong, the first to walk on the moon, and Eugene Cernan, the last astronaut to do so. Over one third of all of NASA's manned space missions have had at least one Purdue graduate as a crewmember.

Purdue offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in over 200 major areas of study, and is well known for its competitive engineering curricula. The university has also been highly influential in America's history of aviation, having established the first college credit offered in flight training, the first four-year bachelor's degree in aviation, and the first university airport.

Besides, the school's selectivity for admissions is strictly selective: approximately 49% of applicants are admitted.
