Pros

Highly-ranked departments, lots of research funding available, stable environment in tough economic times, Atlanta is a great city, education is a very gratifying field. Collaboration/Joint Department with Emory Medical School is very promising.

Cons

government bureaucracy can be discouraging from time to time, international reputation is still in the early stages due to being a public school located in the South.

Pros

- Free Housing - Meal Plan - One of the better on campus job for students in my opinion (still able to be involved in other activities as a student on campus)

Cons

- Duty part of the job (Being on call and getting late night lock outs but this is rare), and definitely can still do homework in between doing duty rounds - experience can also depend on your hall director / area (but regardless still served on great RA teams, can be great if you have a co-ra but also been good at time being a single RA on the floor (no need to coordinate schedule if you do events together as a single RA unless you alternate events with your co)
