Department of Agricultural Economics are outstanding. Graduate
students receive office space in the Krannert Building where
faculty members of the Departments of Agricultural Economics
and Economics have their offices. Classrooms, the Management
and Economics Library, and computer facilities area all

opportunities for dialogue among faculty and graduate students.
Purdue University and the Department
of Agricultural Economics have very up-to-date computer
facilities. The department has networked microcomputers
located in offices throughout the department that are connected
to the campus backbone by fiber optics. Students and faculty

and social enrichment abound at Purdue. In addition, extracurricular
activities are available in the Greater Lafayette community,
Indianapolis (about 65 miles to the southeast) and Chicago
(about 130 miles to the northwest).
