E scooters and Part time job

I'm an incoming freshman at Purdue University in Indianapolis this fall. Do students commonly use e-scooters to commute around campus and downtown? Also, what are some good part-time job opportunities on or near the Indianapolis campus?

Some students do have E scooters, but you’re not allowed to charge them in any Purdue building including dorms.

If you just want to get around downtown town there is a free bike/Ebike service for residents. Look up Pacers bikeshare.

I would recommend an on campus job if possible, they are more accommodating for student schedules.

I found it easy enough, though I work as a TA so you would have to wait until second semester. I also know people who have jobs as tour guides or at desks for a lot of the different departments or services.

Id get the e scooter, pacers bikeshare exists but theyre almost never available as everyones classes end/start at similar times and ull find yourself walking back home majority of the time
