Great school

Graduate teaching assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Great curriculum, well established alumni network, lots of career opportunity (if you're in the right majors and area of concentration though), low cost of living, overall nice people, diverse population (only in terms of nationality and ethnicity), simple and relaxed life style

Cons

Could be little depressing for those who are used to urban setting, not so many things to do for fun (I guess this is why people here all work out so much and are built), depressing winter season mostly due to gray sky. Certainly if you look for it there are various things to do but just don't expect the kind of dynamics you feel in the big cities.

Pros

Great atmosphere to work in. Lots of great employees. Flexible work hours and great connections for building your resume.

Cons

The patrons can be difficult to deal with because they always think they know best or are right. While this is a customer service based field working for rec sports, a little understanding of what the managers go through on a day to day from the patrons would go a long way.
