      Pros

      Location is in durham, NC. For people who love nature and outdoor activities, it's good place to stay. The professor is nice and living cost there is relatively low compared to other big cities such as SF.

      Cons

      Not too many technical job opportunities there, compared to Bay area. For city people, they may find it a little boring living in durham.

      Pros

      This is a great experience and my team was excited to work with undergrads. I learned a lot and participated in stand up meetings.

      Cons

      It really varies based on your team and how much experience you are able to contribute. Sometimes the teams don't have a clear role for you or there's a lack of communication.
