Pros

There're many reasons you want to be a GRA. 1. You will get tuition waiver for whatever program you are enrolled in Georgia Tech. 2. If you are a Ph.D. student, you are actually getting paid to do your own research to your dissertation. 3. The Tech campus is great, and located in midtown Atlanta.

Cons

The only con of being a GRA is you cannot take too much courses. Because, GRA work combined with too many course works will make your life miserable.

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)
