Pros

BU has very nice faculties and research facilities to help your research work, and it also has very good living facilities such as the great gym.

Cons

As a research assistant, you get monthly stipend which is not very high and you will need to find an actual job after graduation.

Pros

Questrom IT is run by very knowledgeable people, and they are great to work with. They are interested in your development as much as they are in the work you are doing.

Cons

Like any other student jobs, the pay is very low. It comes with the knowledge that you are working for the school, but it's not absurd by any means.

Pros

There is a premiere engineering education from this school.

Cons

This school is infamous for its grade deflation. That makes the grades quite low, even if you may know the material. If you're not a good test-taker or you don't have knowledge of strategies with regards on how to take tests at schools like this, you will not do very well on tests.
