Pros

nice campus to work, some interesting/exciting research going on

Cons

sometimes you feel the university is not as scientifically driven as I had hoped...and sometimes you feel the university does not appreciate international students as much as it claims to...other than making money off of them...

Pros

Innovative and constantly looking towards the future - the bigger picture is always in mind. Cutting edge research from faculty, new concepts to evolve with careers and industry, integration of technology. Love working here.

Cons

Lots to do to keep up with shifting times and not enough hours in the day. Many new injustices are demanding of time but in the end I am grateful to learn and participate in these opportunities.
