It's 2009, the air is crisp, orange and golden leaves drift along the sidewalks of IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis). The campus feels almost asleep, but the voices of students rushing between classes fill the silence and replace the emptiness with heartbeat.
On Sept. 12, medical students from the Indiana University School of Medicine gathered at an off-campus home for an evening of dumplings, conversations and cultural exchanges. The annual event, organized by the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA), brought students from different backgrounds together while giving them time to relax and decompress from the demands of medical school.
Aug. 24 marked the start of the third academic year since IUPUI split into IU Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis. It also marked the end of Boiler Gold Rush 2026, Purdue University's one-week orientation program. This was the third year the program was held in Indianapolis.
College is expensive, especially if students have to factor in the additional cost of living. But dorms offer more than just a place to sleep: students are close to campus, have a place to rest between classes and may find lifelong friends from their assigned roommates.
