Pros

Great colleagues, generally supportive atmosphere, driven students, beautiful campuses

Cons

Support departments are extremely understaffed/ underfunded in comparison to some other schools. Upper administration tends to chase flavors of the month, with projects being constantly started, worked, then abandoned. Substantial lack of communication and transparency
