Pros

Some nice students pretty location

Cons

Administration is as toxic as they come. Admin are appointed, not voted, faculty have 0 voice in administration or selecting administrators. The faculty senate formally censured the vice provost for unethical, of course, that has 0 consequence. The tenure system is a contently moving target aimed at retaining the good old boys - look at the diversity of the faculty, there is a reason and it isn't lack of applicants. Run, faculty, run.
