Pros

Great work environment. Great to get funded for your Masters. Stipends are reasonable considering low cost of living. Virginia Tech in general is filled with awesome people and great outdoor opportunities for the necessary stress relievers for your masters program

Cons

Like any funded student, you will work hard. Balancing classes and research can become cumbersome. Sometimes, your left feeling burnt out and struggle to close out semester.

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
