Pros

Abundant opportunities to explore your interests through classes, clubs and organizations. Generous financial support for low-income students to participate in some activities and study abroad.

Cons

Palpable social stratification by race and class. Latent mental health problems on campus (across the board for undergrad, grad, and faculty).

Pros

Great benefits package. Beautiful campus. Great location: close to two big cities (New York City and Philadelphia) and close to a great airport (Newark).

Cons

Located in a small town with few options for going out and eating out. In general, not many events happening for faculty and staff. During university breaks (e.g. summer) most campus facilities (including dining services) are closed or have much shorter, inconvenient hours. Cost of living is high, particularly rent.
