A Parent's Perspective: 

We felt like VU was a perfect fit for David, and we knew he would get a really good foundation when he transferred to Purdue in Computer Engineering. Despite being Valedictorian of his class and having been accepted to Purdue and Rose Hulman, we opted for VU. His math classes at VU were challenging, but he received a lot more individualized attention than the he would have gotten at Purdue, and we saved thousands by going to VU instead of Rose Hulman. He was able to transfer all the hours from VU to Purdue, and most importantly he started an internship with Crane before any of the first year students at Purdue. VU not only gave him an outstanding academic experience, but it gave him a significant head start in his internship relative to his peers at Purdue.

My VU Story: Henry Steckler

"I chose Vincennes University because of the unique transfer opportunity to Purdue University for Mechanical Engineering. It gave me a direct focus on completing my credits necessary for obtaining my Bachelor's degree in a smaller class setting."
