Business Outlook

Pros

The college community is very safe, diverse, moderate politically, and educated well-above average, especially for Indiana. Purdue is always expanding, but perhaps, they should spend more money on providing more money for research and outreach.

Cons

Despite the diversity, the culture here is somewhat lacking, but if you look hard enough, you can find things to do. Very conservative Governor Mitch Daniels will be the new president here in January, but he might be able to bring lots of money to the university.

Business Outlook

Pros

coworkers are hardworking and committed to their work. Leaders have high standards for themselves and for quality of the work. The campus is nicely arranged and everything is within easy waking distance.

Cons

The place is somewhat isolated. 1-2 hours driving to major cities. In winter times, life can be less than easy.
