Pros

Most of the faculty and staff are passionate about making a positive difference in the world. There are many great resources to tap into.

Cons

There is a lot of rot and ego in the administrative components. Everything that should be swiftly decided and addressed is done by committee. Everything that should be done by committee is done behind secret closed doors.
