Business outlook
Pros
Graduate student salaries are competitive and in line with the cost of living in the area. Leadership in my department is extremely supportive of graduate students. The university overall is supportive of graduate education as well.
Cons
Funding for research and travel can be a challenge, although this is likely the result of the national attitude toward research funding, not a product of the university itself.
