Watch this robot solve puzzle cube at a record time
A fast robot system created by students at Purdue University has become the fastest in the world to solve puzzle cubes.
Tuition fees for Purdue University’s in-state students will remain constant again next year, and will remain constant for 14 consecutive years without increasing prices. The West Lafayette, Indiana-based university has the longest-running tuition freeze in the country, starting in the 2012-2013 academic year.
“We propose that, in fiscal year 26, we will continue to freeze tuition and mandatory fees effectively this fall,” said Andrew Bean, Vice President of Finance. “We propose to increase the international fees paid by students registered abroad.”
Councillors noted that 13 years of tuition freezes had not affected Purdue’s employee pay.
International undergraduates pay an additional $500, while international alumni pay an additional $45.
“We are proposing a $1,000 increase in discriminatory fees that affect the engineering, computer and data science at Daniel Business School,” Bean told councillors, explaining it was for non-resident students.
“The proceeds from this fee will be made specifically to support the unique needs of students related to support through university registration and education,” Bean said.
Purdue’s satellite campuses in Fort Wayne and northwest Indiana also show that tuition fees remain the same for students across the state. Non-resident students will pay an additional 3% starting from the fall, Bean said.
Tuition and fee schedules for the 2026 fiscal year will continue through 2027.
