Pros

Great connections can be made through Tech. There are amazing research opportunities, and the professors are experts in their fields. I would go back if I needed another degree.

Cons

One of the downsides to having the professors be experts in their field and being involved in the amazing projects etc. is that the instruction varies greatly between profs. Some are great, but some are not, but they are around because the pull in money and do great research.

Pros

- Free Housing - Meal Plan - One of the better on campus job for students in my opinion (still able to be involved in other activities as a student on campus)

Cons

- Duty part of the job (Being on call and getting late night lock outs but this is rare), and definitely can still do homework in between doing duty rounds - experience can also depend on your hall director / area (but regardless still served on great RA teams, can be great if you have a co-ra but also been good at time being a single RA on the floor (no need to coordinate schedule if you do events together as a single RA unless you alternate events with your co)
