Pros

Good environment for working on interesting research projects with like-minded colleagues/students. It allows enough balance to do your dissertation and other research-related activities, unless you're lucky enough and have a GRA on your topic!

Cons

It's not very pleasant if you work on something totally unrelated to you research, which sometimes might not be an option.

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.
