Business Outlook
Pros
It is a large research university with many different departments. The benefits of being in a diverse university community with a lot of young, energetic people around is great for entrepreneurial folks. A large amount of the students are also in science and engineering fields so that is of a big benefit for forging interdisciplinary connections. Great IT systems.
Cons
Some of the administration is very slow with paperwork. Weather is not great for 6-7 months of the year. Also the public transport inside the town is good, but it is far from all major hub airports and the local airport in expensive.
