Pros

Penn State is a leading engineering school in U.s. It has strong academics, outstanding professors, beautiful environment and locates at a very safe city.

Cons

Funding is decreased recent years because of the cost cut of education for the state. Tuition is expensive than some other public universities.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
