Business Outlook
Pros
Students and professors are very skilled and knowledgeable. Facilities are excellent.
Cons
The school continues to refuse to raise the grad student stipend (we get $24k, while many schools give $30-25k). I actually did the math, and I would make more money working only 40 hrs/week at most McDonalds. Additionally, school is refusing to give adequate raise in light of inflation (FSU is fighting the grad student union over a 1% raise when inflation is 6% - a raise of anything less than 6% is a paycut.) Tallahassee is not cheap to live in - rent has gone up significantly this year (Can't find a 1 bedroom apartment for less than $1000/month, and housing with roommates near the university is also expensive (avg $600-800/month)).
