I know, and if they hadn't, they likely might be suffering. The difference in price between IU and Purdue is only $1,500 more for in-state tuition at IU, yet IU has raised both tuition and housing cost at least a few times in those last several years (if not every year). This tells me that Purdue, at one time, was significantly more costly than IU, and now IU and the rest of the larger public schools have basically caught up with Purdue. IU is much more costly for out-of-state students, an estimated $6,500 more to go to IU than Purdue.

Evansville area would be a more decent area to live in if it wasn’t for the horrible air quality. Anywhere near the Ohio River is bad for air quality and one of the worst areas in America for allergy sufferers.

You also have to consider that Purdue has a much more prestigious brand, especially in STEM.
