Pros

- Two weeks of paid vacation a year, decent for a graduate student - Research assistant monthly pay is about $500 more than teaching assistant monthly pay. Either way, the stipend alone is not enough to cover rent and living expenses in Atlanta unless you opt to room with someone

Cons

- Fees are ridiculous (>$600 per semester, including the summer semester) and cannot be waived - Health insurance costs $100 per month and has a high deductible (~$6000)
