Pros

Name recognition, downtown/DC location, on campus events = free food/booze, 9-5 workday.

Cons

Politics between main campus and other GU schools (Law, Medical, Foreign Service), obsolete technology and IT equipment. No priority to encourage staff/faculty to adopt best practices in approach to "business" aspect of education.
