Pros

Great institutional support from the staff and the university. Everyone tries to help as much as possible. Sometimes there isnt enough to go around with 80,000+ students, but thats life.

Cons

Stipends have been stuck now for 5 years. Every so often we got a $50 pay raise that is usually lost to the yearly $100 increase in housing costs. The health benefits were stellar but they are being downgraded.
