Pros

Great culture in the NRE department-professors are great, very easy to talk to, and there's a lot of variety in research. Students are also very laid back-brilliant, but unpretentious and very willing to help each other out.

Cons

Bureaucracy is a mess; the nuclear department is part of the mechanical school, so student services is spread across maybe 3 buildings and 4 offices, with little indication of where to go if you need something. The financial aid and bursar's offices don't talk as much/as often as they should, so financial aid often doesn't appear on your statement until the last minute.

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)
