Pros

People are friendly and supportive.Environment is positive. Cost of living is not high. Many good places to et asnd tour museums and art galleries.

Cons

the weather is very humid and you never have a good hair day.You are 45 minutes to Louisiana state line and there is so much to do in Louisiana. You are 80 miles from Houston and you would have tons of great things to do there also. Beaches are close and you can take a ferry from Bolivar to Galveston for the day or the weekend, and the boat ride is fun with dolphibs following the ferry.

Pros

Friendly, supportive environment — it's a very friendly work environment with helpful faculty members, and many reviewers mention a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

Cons

Low stipend/pay — the stipend is relatively low compared to similar positions at other universities, and it's described as needing greater stability.
