Purdue is your best bet if you are thinking about these factors.
Purdue is great in that regard. I would also think about Wisconsin as well.
As an international student, you should plan on returning to your country for job prospects. You have been accepted by these universities for your education, not for your immigration.
It is very difficult to gain employment as a non-citizen in the US. Immigration laws have changed.
The US government is very strict about making sure that US citizens have job opportunities available, and employers are now required to employ US citizens and permanent residents. Employers have to confirm that there are no US citizens available for their open job positions before they can even consider a foreign-born national.
Additionally, employers would have to sponsor and pay fees for a non-citizen and now, many corporate employers are unwilling to wait the 6 month waiting period, and pay thousands of dollars to sponsor a non-US citizen.
