"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!"

"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.”

"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."

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

“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

"Tulsa people are amazing. Not only are they the most kindest and loving people that you know, we also, as a community, want to build. And not just in a physical sense, but in a community nurturing sense. We’re all striving for the same thing: Make Tulsa Better."

“I know what the big city feels like, and there’s a sense of inspiration that comes from that. But I find myself being so inspired living here in Tulsa, looking around at all of the really cool architecture and all of the street art downtown.”

“The place I chose to live was Tulsa.”

Tulsa Remote

"Tulsa is a unique place with amazing people. It is a small-town vibe, without sacrificing base for the amenities, and has a Midwestern vibe with southern history. The people here are incredibly warm and welcoming. They're very interested in and rooting for you and your individual success here in Tulsa, which is amazing. I just moved to Tulsa over the summer, and I felt more connected here after a few months than I did after 15 years in Austin."

Mandi Ford Argo

Tulsa Director of Venture for America

"Tulsa is willing to grow and expand out. I had no idea about Tulsa doing what it does with programs like Tulsa Remote, ACT Tulsa, and venture capital places bringing people here. It’s been eye-opening to see that Tulsa is willing to grow and making strides to get there. That wasn’t something I was expecting, but am really glad to see it."

Marla O'Fallon

Operations Coordinator

"The move to my new community in Tulsa, Oklahoma wasn't too impossibly far from my previous home location in Killeen, Texas. The overall tax impact is a lot less as well as the general cost of living. Interestingly, although the state of Oklahoma has a state tax return but Texas doesn't, I still don't have to pay Oklahoma state taxes because as a software developer, I am able to earn the state tax credit for qualified software employees that substantially reduces my state income taxes.

The first big difference I noticed is that although Tulsa, Oklahoma is a metropolitan city with its own international airport, the streets are noticeably barren with very little traffic. So you get all the perks of a big city with upscale restaurants and events, but without all the crowds of a usual big city."

Joel Meine

Software Developer

Tulsa is the kind of place where people still hold the door open for you, where you walk into a store and someone says hello. There’s just a very friendly vibe here, and I think the people here genuinely care about their fellow Tulsans.

We’re also pushing for change here in terms of equality. I think that it’s being heard, and it’s something people here are passionate about. The citizens of Tulsa are passionate about where they live. They truly love their city and the people who make it great."

Andy Kantola

Head of Product

"Tulsa is a small city with a big city feel. There’s always something to do. There’s every generational demographic you can possibly think of. The nightlife is great, regardless of what demographic you’re in. There’s hiking and other activities. The fine dining is so much fun here, and there are great pub crawls."

Jennifer

Command Center Manager

"Tulsa is really a hidden gem, and it’s clear that it is growing in a positive way and looking to improve itself. There has always been a boomtown mentality here, and it’s especially true right now. The sense of community is really strong here, and people always look out for one another."

Sales Development Representative

"I think there’s a lot of diversity and range (in Stillwater's music scene). It’s rewarding to help people get going on the music journey that fits them the best.”

“I love it. It’s a small town, but you have everything in it while keeping a small community feeling. That’s the best part of Stillwater. Everyone knows each other and everyone helps each other. I’ve traveled to a lot of places, but Stillwater is different.”

Mohammad Mahmoud

Owner of Granny’s Kitchen

"There is really a special communal aspect to the music scene in Stillwater that has resulted in lots of mentorship and collaboration, growth of the scene, and a fusion of various musical styles. The Red Dirt Relief Fund's annual Gypsy Café Songwriter Festival has shown a spotlight on the Oklahoma music community and strives to continue to showcase more diversity and support of developing artists"

Founding board member of the Red Dirt Relief Fund

“Red Dirt is really hard to define. I’ve never heard anybody be able to explain what it is exactly. It’s as much a community as it is a genre of music. It’s a passing down of music and knowledge from one generation to the next. Stillwater is a true music city.”

John Cooper

Vocalist for Red Dirt Rangers

“Stillwater is the best of both worlds. It’s large enough, with the activities that come from the University, but still small enough so that people know each other and are super friendly. I think people have a preconceived notion of what people in Oklahoma are like, but Stillwater doesn’t have that stereotypical Oklahoma attitude.”

Stacy DeLano

Director at Stillwater Public Library

“I love that it’s a college town. It’s always changing and you can always meet new people. There’s fun and interesting stuff happening all the time and it’s all in one spot. There’s always something to do.”

Living and working in Owensboro

Owensboro

Owensboro, Kentucky, sits in the crook of the bend of the Ohio River, which led 18th-century settlers to originally call it “Yellowbanks,” for the yellow sands located along the river. The long, hot summers provide outdoor enthusiasts plenty of opportunities for water sports, hiking, biking, or simply enjoying one of the area’s many parks. Nature enthusiasts might also enjoy the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden or visiting the World’s Largest Sassafras Tree. The city is also known for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art, and Owensboro Museum of Science and History. Wineries, distilleries, farms, and orchards offer tours, and the city hosts the Owensboro PumpkinFest each year. The Owensboro-Daviess Regional Airport is located just minutes from the business district in Owensboro. The airport offers flights to Sanford and Orlando, Florida, on Allegiant Airlines and to St. Louis and Nashville on Cape Air. The Louisville, Kentucky, airport is located less than 100 miles from Owensboro.

It’s not uncommon to meet people in Owensboro who came for a short stay and ended up settling down - a testament to the community and quality of life in this hospitable Southern town. Locals gather for live music at a myriad of venues across the city which is home to the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and ROMP, a not-to-be-missed 3 day music festival celebrating country music of all varieties. Remote workers with families will appreciate the top performing schools and the investment the community makes in youth spaces and activities. Case in point - the recently renovated Smothers Park, located on premium riverside real estate, has been named the top playground in the world (2015) by Landscape Architect’s Network.
