Pros

Mason is located in a great area in the country with a very diverse student body. There is a lot of great opportunities for ambitious student affairs professionals.

Cons

The salary range is very low for the high cost of living in the DC metro area - unless you have additional income or roommates it can be tough to pay rent.
