Pros

The academic environment is stimulating and students have some opportunities to network with their peers. There are also opportunities for scientists and engineers to engage in entrepreneurial ventures with business students from Krannert.

Cons

The health plan for graduate students with families is unacceptable. Student fees are too high. The inability of investigators to obtain funding has decreased the quality of research being conducted.
