Pros

Good research and nice people.There are many programs and activities to give a complete student experience. Affordable place with multiple dining options.

Cons

Small town with not many activities except hiking or what is organized by Tech (which is still a nice variety). Graduate student end up left alone from the multitude of events organized by (for?) undergrads. As in every institution the experience can vary based on your boss.

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
