Pros

good benefits, decent salary, some people are okay, but usually stay in their academic back-ground to make friends.

Cons

Very biased towards age and handicap. I traveled 2000 miles for this job, and they laid me off after one year because I was late to class twice. They knew I had a handicap and would not go so far as to put my class in the same building as I was, which was very easy to do as other English classes were already using that room.

Pros

Very collaborative environment, with great research resources for biomedical engineering given the nationally leading Vet school at CSU. The biomedical engineering program is fantastic, with great classes overall, and a growing number of students and faculty. The school is largely independent of state funding, and brings in a large amount of research and philanthropic money. Plus, Fort Collins is a great city to live in.

Cons

Standard academic politics do apply somewhat, though I believe it is better than many places. As always, specific experience will largely be determined by your student-advisor relationship. Student funding is largely on a cases-by-case basis, make sure you understand clearly what it will and won't include before you wind up in a financially dry spot.
