WHAT GREATER LAFAYETTE RESIDENTS ARE SAYING

"Where can I begin to describe the Work From Purdue program. The experience has been wonderful and Deanna has gone beyond her way to make your experience the best it can be. As an avid nature lover, it is nice to be able to traverse walking trails with my dogs, and there is no shortage of those. The energy is in the air as the campus is lively, yet at the same time you can carry on in your own little world if you choose to. What has been the best experience for us so far is the dedication Deanna has and motivation to make you feel welcomed! Go Boilers!!! Chooo Chooo!"
