Business Outlook
Pros
Town is very nice, surrounded by a lot of nature. Cost of living is not too expensive in comparison to other universities. Campus is nice.
Cons
Very small town. Pay is not great in comparison to cost of living for GTAs and GRAs, mostly dependent upon the department. University admin seems to be very anti-union, driving towards less decision-making power for graduate students. Some buildings are quite old, so facilities may not be great. Semester tuition fees are quite high.
