Business outlook
Pros
The surrounding community is small, but is close in proximity to Indianapolis. Consequently, cost of living is low. The West Lafayette School District is excellent, but housing within the district limits is significantly more expensive. You can work with some of the most intelligent people in a variety of fields.
Cons
As a graduate student, pay is ridiculously low. Other graduate programs in similar cost of living areas pay 50% more. Long hours, much longer than the 20 hours per week you are being paid.
