My experience with Elliott began during BGR my freshman year. It was overwhelming yet amazing to see that my entire freshman class fit in one building. That evening President Mitch Daniels spoke at the ceremony and named himself part of our class (since he was starting his term at the same time). I think this was such a memorable experience and more than anything I look forward to getting my diploma there in the near future!

When I found out that my mom had gotten my tickets to see Lady Antebellum, I was so excited! Then I found out that the concert was going to be held in The Elliott Hall of Music, and I was even more excited. I had heard that Elliott had the greatest sound, and prettiest balconies. Everything that I heard turned out to be true, and my first experience at Elliott turned out to be one of the greatest I had experienced. Elliott was beautiful, inviting, and
full of history. If only the exams I take in Elliott were as fun!

My first experience at the Elliott Hall of Music was in August when I attended Boiler Gold Rush, a week-long orientation event at Purdue. It was a gigantic dance party and all the students were jumping around so much that the balconies were shaking! During the school year, I’m usually in Elliott taking an exam. I think it’s cool that Purdue has such a large theater that is home to so many awesome events and performances.

My first experience in Elliott Hall was my STAR date when I was getting ready to schedule for the my first semester. From what I remember, I was sleep deprived and had to drive an hour on a route I didn't know. I showed up late and just snuck in the back. However, my first real experience of Elliott was BGR. It was a really cool experience to see hundreds of new freshmen jumping up and down on the balconies. It was also very terrifying, but cool. I was super excited to get my first year off to a good start.

My first experience at Elliott Hall of Music was taking the economy exams last semester. It was an hour exam and I still remember the old women telling me to “put back the board” after my exam. Everything in the building was very attractive for me because I had never taken an exam in such a environment. During my first school year, I took a lot of exams in Elliott Hall of Music. This building means a lot for me because my performance in this building will determine my final grade.

There are several ways to get involved with Elliott Hall and make a difference in the lives of the students here at Purdue. Elliott Hall is one of the major assets that Purdue University has. Elliott Hall is home to several different opportunities for students and faculty to get involved with.
