Chiming in with a Purdue alum perspective.

If you can get away with this, keep doing so, but definitely recommend putting some time into the 59000 / 69000 classes taught at the grad level. Advisors let you swap elective classes in your track for the higher level ones, and they’re far more interesting (especially for the AI/ML track). Also connects you with more professors that would be research oriented (if that was something you were interested in). The program also had an exchange with ETH/KTH which unfortunately I couldn’t take advantage of due to COVID.
