Pros

There are plenty of research labs, the courses have decent curves if things get too difficult, and there are always plentiful scholarship, internship, workshop, and job opportunities emailed out by the professional development advisors.

Cons

Some of the academic advisors do not help at all, the heat destroys your stamina during every season except winter, and you need a PC-type laptop in order to use the majority of the required software.
