Homecoming Week

As we all know, last week was homecoming week here at Purdue. Coming from a high school who got very into all the activities and games surrounding homecoming, I had high expectations from Purdue. Besides the weather being bone-chilling, there were other things that upset my week. There should have been activites in the dorms to go along with last week. All I heard about was a parade, along with fireworks on Friday and Saturday prior to the football game. The Boilermakers DID beat Northwestern, who hails from about a half hour from my house, but I didn't feel like people got into the game enough. I did enjoy a few things though, which included the black pom poms which were given out, Purdue Pete tackling the Northwestern gorilla and seeing Neil Armstrong. I think next year, the school should schedule Homecoming week farther away from Halloween. Since a lot of people were out partying on Friday night, it was difficult to get the max number of students up early enough to get to Ross-Ade. The best part of the game was probably when the sun came out and shined just when the clock ran out and we finished the game!
