It's a Hoosier Hike, Not a Himalayan Trek
Fear not, fellow adventurers! The distance between Indianapolis and Purdue's hallowed halls of knowledge in West Lafayette, Indiana, is a mere 65-ish miles. That's practically a hop, skip, and a Boilermaker jump. You could cruise down I-65 with the windows down, blasting the fight song (because, let's be honest, who doesn'? RAH! RAH! REEEEEE! their way across Indiana?), and be there before you can say "Purdue Pete needs a breath mint."
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
Translation for non-Hoosiers: It's a quick drive, a breeze compared to some road trips.
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is)
Now, you might be thinking, "65 miles? That's easy-peasy lemon squeezy." And you'd be right, for the most part. But for those who crave a little extracurricular adventuring (or maybe just got stuck in rush hour traffic), there are a few other ways to conquer this Hoosier odyssey:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
- Become a Bus Blazer (Not Literally): Public transportation exists, folks! You can hop on a bus and enjoy the scenery (or catch up on some reading...or that same Korean zombie show). Just be prepared for a slightly longer journey.
- Channel Your Inner Lewis and Clark (Minus the Beaver Hat): For the truly intrepid, there's always the option of biking or even rollerblading the distance. Safety disclaimer: This is probably not recommended, but hey, to each their own (as long as it's legal).
