Excellent question….we do have all levels of discretionary cash spending students.

But to look at the posh high rises….you do wonder.

Do a study Zach!

pobably applies to our downtown merchants as well.

For me it just means a lot new drivers in town who don't know how to use a roundabout....unless they are from Carmel. :)

Ha! How true, indeed. It's almost like entire economies are built around the student's discretionary (and indiscretionary) spending.

Could this be another purpose for higher education? I digress...

A speculative question for everyone: What proportion of the student's (loaned or otherwise) money do you think stays in the different layers of our economy? At the City, the County, the State, and the Country level?

Still applicable...but in a campus much changed since 2006! I drove through last week for the first time in several years...even more, and TALLER buildings! Growing up, the PNB building downtown was the tallest for years - now it's dwarfed by any number of campus buildings.

I've always thought the sign of a healthy hospital or university was construction. By that measure, Purdue is WILDLY successful.
