West Lafayette is just... wow, what can I say? It's a pretty small city with many of the conveniences of a larger one, what with nearly 37,000 students innundating the small burg during the school year. You have to wonder what goes on there in the summer! Oh, but yes, Purdue University is here, which I attend, learning to be an engineer and make the big bucks, eh? ;) Well, anyway, I guess W. Lafayette isn't THAT bad. There are a number of places to eat on Sagamore Parkway, and definitely go visit Chauncey Hill/Village down by campus, where there are bars, restuarants, a couple bookstores, and a couple coffee shops, all of which I seem to visit more than is necessary. Also, check out the Wabash Landing (the Levee), right across from downtown Lafayette and sitting on the Wabash River. Again, a couple bars, a couple places to eat (including a Starbucks), and a new movie theater. They're in the process of building a Hilton too, so that should be nice, right?

By the way, this picture is only about a third or fourth of the whole campus, but it's where I seem to spend most of my time. Campus really is nice during the spring and summer, when everything is green and blooming, which is more than I can say for the winters, which generally bring snow, cold, wind, and just basically make campus a dreary-looking place.
