Dynamic but quiet workplace

Pros

BU has very helpful administration. The place is mostly quiet, since the floors with classrooms are separated from office floors. The medical benefits are nice.

Cons

Any bureaucratic things are moving so slowly there... Library collection is rather weak. Working computers are outdated.

Pros

Many opportunities to work with professors and interact with staff members over the course of my job. Down time to study when work load is not significant.

Cons

Not that many cons, except the construction in the SMG building has made everything different and more difficult to adjust to. More pros than cons definitely.

Pros

Facility is excellent, teachers are nice and you can meet people from different countries, very interesting, you should take full advantage of the gym

Cons

tuition is really expensive, expecially for some programs, we have no campus````` because schools are in the street, professors are very busy, since most of them are teaching us after work```
