Better handrails: IU or Purdue's campus?

Does anyone have first hand experience of going to either of these schools, and if so how are the handrails for sessioning? I just got accepted to both of them and it's lookin dimmer and dimmer of me getting out to the U of U considering I just got a s $20,000 scholarship to IU and it's in-state. So I don't want to be completely stripped of skiing while I'm up at college.
 
my older sister went to purdue and i remember visiting her and def saw a ton of handrails. purdue seemed like a pretty sick campus.
 
Don't base your college decision off of handrails up there. Plus it's a good way to get fined and in trouble on campus. It happened to me both here in Utah and at UC. But yeah.. both are sick. I would go with IU. Paoli Peaks isn't too far away, and kinda fun.... and for a scholarship it's sick, and there's more hot girls.
 
my cousin goes to IU, shes a sophmore this year, and a star soccer player. she seems to really like it there
 
Haha thanks for the info. I was mainly wondering because I am going to be touring the campuses this winter and was wondering if I should bring my skis to hit a few rails. No way was I gonna base my decision on what had better hand rails (looking back I guess I should have gotten my point across better). But a factor is going to be which is more accessible for skiing.
 
Theres plenty of handrails around, it's just a matter of getting snow, getting said snow to the middle of campus, and not getting caught in the process. But yes, there are plenty of sick rails that can/could be done.
 
Haha. My friend Stephen based his college decision on the amount of squirrels each campus had. He was torn between IU and Purdue... and saw there were more Squirrels at Purdue.
 
i was at IU yesterday, and i only saw about 1, 2, maybe 3 good handrails.....

but that also coulda been because it was pouring rain and i was freezing my ass off and soaking wet....

but, have fun with thoose visits!
 
they're around, you just need to know where to look for them. There are a few really sick ones that are kind of hidden in the middle of campus that I think would be doable if you could figure out how to get a truckload of snow there without getting noticed.
 
Def. IU, PURDUE is a really consolidated campus. The IU campus is wayyy bigger and spread out, which almost intern means there is more room for more stuff. There is an Epic do-able handrail in front of the Igeman? dorms at IU, massive! But if you do decide to go to Purdue il see you next year son.
 
i go to purdue and there are some sick rails (lily hall has some long ass rails) but like somoene else said, purdue is a pretty enclosed campus so it may be harder to get away with. not very spread out at all.

purdue has a shitload of skateboarders too and it seems like every bench/sitting area outside is meant to be in a park, its pretty crazy.
 
perdue is flat as shit. I would never go there. they might have some handrails, but there is not grat ways to get at them.
 
a drop in ramp maybe?

unless you meant that hey are in the middle of campus. just wait until it snows and then hit them.

There's a few double kinks (flat, down, flat) by the stadium. If it snows get creative with wallrides and bomb drops and stuff. you can make it fun.
 
it's really easy to get into the stadium and there are rails/box galore in there of course. i've been streaking after a good ol' fountain run a few times at 3 in the morning
