Pros

VERY high teacher to students ratio, very supportive learning environment. Very beautiful campus, supportive advisor, collaborative academic atmosphere, enough academic resources.

Cons

Because of the size of SMU, which is not that big, private school, many times you need to find resources somewhere else, such as library materials, or even collaborators.

Pros

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

Cons

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
