Pros

Great exposure to diverse career opportunities. Great welcoming community and beautiful landscape in the fall. There are many community and campus-wide events throughout the year, from the Farmer's Market to to the Tippeacanoe County Fair.

Cons

Although, this is a small town in comparison to Chicago, which about 3 hours away, there are still incidents of crime and vandalism. Like any small town, when the college students don't have things to do with their time it typically turns out that drinking is the one thing can use up time easily.
