      Pros

      Nice. There are all sort of awesome research going on. You just need to find where you belong.

      Cons

      Everyone seems to be disconnected. One lab does this, another does this. Nobody really knows who's doing what.

      Pros

      AS a theatre student there are a large number of opportunities in the area to practice your craft and to make a decent wage doing so. Any one who is not afraid of handwork and dedication will do well here. Classes only meet once a week allowing a good bit of time for projects and homework to be completed and the professors are more than willing to meet you in their office to help you out when you are struggling.

      Cons

      The hours are long, the work is hard, and often the Huntington is just plain in the way.
