Pros

Purdue is a college town. It has a very friendly small town feel. Living expenses are very affordable. College sports add an electric feel to the area during the fall.

Cons

Purdue is plagued with low diversity and Indiana "values" which are pretty backwards and heavily centered on traditional family units. Socializing primarily happens through churches which has effects that carry over into the work environment heavily.
