Business outlook
Pros
The Purdue Chemistry Department has a very casual atmosphere. The cost of living in the Lafayette area is very low. I even bought a house on a graduate salary. The Department is one of the largest in the country, and has great facilities and support.
Cons
There isn't a whole lot to do in Lafayette. The terrain is flat, which is terrible if you are an outdoors type. In the winter, the temperature jumps above and below freezing a lot, which means ice. Summers are hot and humid.
