At least 106 of those students will participate in an exchange program in which their tuition costs will remain the same as on the Purdue campus. Well, I had my Philosophy tutorial today, and I think it is the smallest class I've ever had in college. I think there were 12 people, including the prof. Umberger, Brian Collins and Jeff Robeson this year are the first Purdue students to be exchanged with the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Europe traditionally has been the site of most exchange programs.
Classes are easier and tougher.
They are easier because the work load in most of them is quite small. In most of my classes, I only have a homework assignment due every week or two. But this also makes the classes harder as well. With the reduced work, you don't have as good of an idea how you are doing in the class. Sometimes you think you understand the material, but when it comes to the test, it turns out that you really didn't.
