Business Outlook
Pros
- It is in Chicago - Lovely environment - You can start teaching (as an adjunct faculty) if you are a PhD student or a successful professional - In some departments there are real stars (e.g., a world wide known law professor, an Oscar-winner professor, ...) - A very relaxed environment - Course load is never a problem for a phd student
Cons
- Quite expensive if you are paying for your tuition - NOT a research oriented department (Computer Science) - No protection from the school against evil advisors (which is also lacking in most US schools) - an expensive city to live in - course prerequisites are rarely enforced, which makes course levels/speed drop to the student with least background knowledge.
