      Not good if you're a science graduate student

      Pros

      The academics at the university are wonderful. Research is in interesting and relevant areas of science. Advisors can either be great help, or not much at all. Work-life balance is as good or bad as you choose to make it.

      Cons

      Pay is awful. Do not expect to work as graduate teaching assistant or graduate research assistant and expect to live comfortable unless living with 3+ people. Administration is horrendous and does not care about graduate student concerns. Collaboration between researchers is mostly non existent, which I believe is missed opportunity. Amount of work required is insane for the pay if you are a teaching assistant. If you are a research assistant, work tends to be more tame. Expect to feel underappreciated.

      Pros

      Wonderful staff and researchers to work with. Great facilities & management. Quality care and research quality assurance.

      Cons

      Not looking for full-time technicians. Have to pay for parking pass as a GMU car is not provided. Even so, periodically requires parking to reach facilities for drop-offs ect that are not official parking zones so you may get ticketed.... which is why a GMU car would be helpful.
