Depending on the department and faculty, your responsibilities might be incredibly lax. They might let you completely focus on your research.

Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
