Pros

Great place for collaborations. Atlanta is a great place to live. The campus is beautiful. Many people have worked at the CDC and it is easier to network and find a job there if you are looking to go that route

Cons

It is very much a business and the school is always trying to get your money. Parking costs $654 for the year and parking tickes cost between $50 and $150 dollars!

Pros

The University itself has good resources.

Cons

Paying to park at work, underpaid work in science labs, difficult to use time off, the senior researcher in charge of your lab basically owns you and is allowed significant leeway to set their own rules. I was constantly pressured to work off the clock and on holidays. However, I got the feeling that the experience is very dependent upon who you work for and not universal across all research labs. Also, in spite of regular University-wide emphasis on safety, enforcement of this in the office is very lax.
