Pros

I thought it was a prestigious university, with good diverse students and great culture. Location was close to my home

Cons

They were beyond cheap. I was a master teacher since 1995, with 25 years of real live stage dancing experience( company work and film& TV ) and 13 years of teaching in professional performing arts schools and universities, but nevertheless paid the same as students who had just gotten some minor certification and barely had any experience teaching and just taught part-times to make money. I had been a teacher full-time for a decade all over the globe. My classes were well received I averaged 25-45 students and got no added fee for that huge amounts in class.

Great health insurance - I'm told it's really quite fire (no lie) Great location - love Westwood (sandwiched by Brentwood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills) Union is tremendously supportive

Cons

Campus dining options are kinda weak - breaks my heart to eat the same thing every day

Pros

Working with students is satisfying and fulfilling. It also helps yourself retain information you have learned from past courses.

Cons

The Peer Learning Unit is poorly managed, and it is difficult to communicate with your supervisors.
