I did go to Purdue, because it was top ranked for PUBLIC schools/companies. I did go to Purdue because of the top engineering in America reputation. I did not go to Purdue to study operations. No polls existed breaking down subjects when I went that I ever saw. I did go to Purdue because it was among the least expensive of all TOP Schools. I did not go to Purdue to live in Indiana, ditto Ok St.. I did say and know a lot of the classes were crap, based on my real experience, common sense, and partied every night, ditto for OK ST. (not every night but..) I did experience crap fraud with grades, group projects, ditto OK ST. thus, my view of 'scholarship' is not much based on crap content, biased teachers, fraud by students/teachers?, for and against some, I believe common sense issue/issue is more important, intelligence, more important, than gpa based on precedents of fraud and crap.  As there was no unnanamous #1 school, another reason for my going to Purdue, was to establish low cost expense , to get the best bargain, my own little thing- bargains, and all punks who say only rich people can go to such schools, I establish that although I was neither poor or rich, I got simply as good as it gets, for simply as low of a cost as it gets.
