The Purdue CS department is much better at the graduate school level.
Personally, having taught at the Purdue CS undergrad level, I would not recommend the undergraduate program here. Class sizes are absurdly large, and still growing. While there are many bright, talented undergraduates here, they are far outnumbered by lackluster placeholders, looking for nothing more than a place to hide out from the Real World(tm) for a couple of years.
As for the graduate level, there are a variety of really good professors here. (They, too, are outnumbered by lackluster Elder Gods of FORTRAN, but they are here.) If you can find a professor to work with whose research really interests you, you're in business wherever s/he is.
