Pros

Like all the skills I gained that helped me to get a better job. I was hoping to do more that would allow me to advance in the department but they did not think the same thing.

Cons

Was meant to get tuition stipend while I worked on my Masters degree. But they decided to revoke the stipend and cut my hours. Was financially the worst thing to happen given I needed the money to pay for the school.

Pros

It is a large university with lots of opportunities. The campus is pretty. It is nice to be close to D.C.

Cons

There is very little communication within departments and between professors and students. The graduate coordinator rarely provided correct information about classes. You have to fend for yourself with everything. The pay is very low considering the cost of living.
