About Student Housing in West Lafayette
West Lafayette, Indiana is a college town of roughly 45,000 on the west bank of the Wabash River, built almost entirely around Purdue University and its tens of thousands of students. Purdue's sprawling campus dominates the city, so student life and city life are essentially the same thing. The campus core flows into adjacent neighborhoods and the Chauncey Village district, the main commercial hub where students gather between classes. Across the river, the larger city of Lafayette adds more to do. Public green space runs along the Wabash riverfront and through parks like Happy Hollow, and the city's rhythm follows the Boilermaker calendar, with game days at Ross-Ade Stadium and basketball at Mackey Arena setting the tone.
