      Pros

      There are lots of different areas you can explore for research opportunities and there are many amenities and resources on campus.

      Cons

      There are very few PIs who are not toxic in some way and the pay is very low. It took striking for 6 weeks to get paid minimum wage and get PTO. The environment is very cold and it can be hard to find a good community here. I'm fortunate to have a decent PI and wonderful coworkers but that is not the average experience for most graduate students.

      Pros

      Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
