West Lafayette

"Where can I begin to describe the Work From Purdue program. The experience has been wonderful and Deanna has gone beyond her way to make your experience the best it can be. As an avid nature lover, it is nice to be able to traverse walking trails with my dogs, and there is no shortage of those. The energy is in the air as the campus is lively, yet at the same time you can carry on in your own little world if you choose to. What has been the best experience for us so far is the dedication Deanna has and motivation to make you feel welcomed! Go Boilers!!! Chooo Chooo!"

Jimmy Mena

Remote Worker

"The pandemic prompted my employer to go fully remote in mid 2020. While I appreciated the flexibility and time savings that came with working remotely, I was missing physically being part of a vibrant and dynamic community. Since I moved to West Lafayette as part of the Work From Purdue program, I’ve been meeting other amazing WFP candidates (many of whom have become my new friends) at its programmatic events, living amidst Purdue University’s dynamic intellectual environment, and getting increasingly involved in the West Lafayette community. And, I‘m loving it!"

Shahil Shrestha

“I love the diversity that the students bring here to the community. The place is vibrant because you get these people from all places abroad and all places here in the United States. It’s a good combination.”

Earl Bicar

Moved to West Lafayette

“I’m able to spend a lot more time on my business because I was commuting over an hour in Boston. Here, I can walk to my office. It’s really nice. If I forget something in my office on the weekend, I can just go grab it. That was never a thing I could do before.”

Lindsay Mason

Entrepreneur and Business Owner

"Affordability was definitely a lure to West Lafayette, but not the highest priority," Hughes said. "West Lafayette specifically appealed to my husband and I because of the quality of living, wonderful people, lots of parks and bike paths, a sense of community, Purdue's amazing campus, and high speed internet — which we can't do our jobs without."

Vanessa Hughes

"I love living in downtown Lafayette. There are so many great restaurants, bakeries and boutiques within walking distance of my apartment. Working remotely for Purdue University, it’s so nice to have a few different coffee shops to choose from when I need a change of scenery. Summertime is particularly fun with the different festivals that take place downtown, plus the Farmer’s Market when that’s in season. It’s such a great place to be!"

Ashlee Shroyer

Social Media Manager, Purdue University

“People are more neighborly. It’s just a little different because there’s more space here, there’s more time, so that’s a nice benefit. The housing market was pretty good here. I can actually afford a house and I don’t even need a faculty salary to do that.”

Monique McClain

Purdue Grad

"My setup here is pretty perfect. Being connected to Purdue and living in a college town means I have access to an intellectually stimulating environment and so many great amenities."

Lokesh

“Culturally, it’s a really rich community. We have over 160 pieces of public art in our greater Lafayette Area and we regularly hear that it makes people feel more welcome. We believe our public art is reflective of our community and the diverse backgrounds of the people that live here.”

Tetia Lee

CEO, The Arts Federation

"What I’m excited about is the activity and engagement. Purdue Research Foundation, along with the city of West Lafayette and Purdue University, are building a "Live, Work, Play, Learn" environment, with everything within walking distance of Purdue University."

Ethan Kingery

Convergence Center Property Manager

“There’s more natural beauty here than I thought on first impression. I’ve spent a lot of time at Prophetstown Park. It’s a nice place to walk, and I’ve taken some really nice photos there. There’s tons of wildlife.”

Zach Beauvais

"Incredible schools, top-shelf dining, Broadway plays, and presidential lecture series."

"Participants are frankly spoiled with opportunities."

"It's a place where you feel like you can really get to know people.”

"Purdue is the big draw for people coming from all over the world. Diversity is important to us, to really expand our horizons and see the benefit of learning from other cultures and understanding more about ourselves."

“Having children, the affordability, the cleanliness, and the safety outweigh the oceans and the mountains.”- Mike Dunkle, West Lafayette Resident

Years ago, as their families moved to West Lafayette, Indiana, a group of women connected in raising their young children. Now, the group continues their friendship in a completely different way - through a regular book club.- Patti O’Callaghan, West Lafayette Resident

"We're really establishing a community family."

"When we met with our friends from Boston, they said out of all of the places they’ve lived, Lafayette felt most like home. And that’s always stuck with me, and I agree with that."- Lindsay Mason, Entrepreneur and Business Owner
