Purdue Prepares for Biggest Freshman Class Ever
Purdue University is getting its campus ready for the largest incoming freshman class in the school's history.
Approximately 7,715 first-year students are expected to enroll this fall. Dean of Admissions Doug Christiansen told the campus paper that the Class of 2010 "will be one of the largest, best prepared, and most diverse classes we have had in Purdue's history."
Purdue was able to increase the size of this year's freshman class because more upperclassmen are graduating early.
Purdue received over 25,000 applications for fall 2006 admission. Christiansen said that Purdue's rising profile and its graduates' success in the job market were major reasons for applicants' growing interest in the University.
