      Pros

      Quiet, beautiful countryside. Good academic reputation and great professors. Generally a good, typical state university. Some departments like geo-science is particularly strong.

      Cons

      Far from cities. Too quiet in holidays. Buses reduce services in holidays so it will be difficult for anyone who do not own a car. Prices of goods are about 1.2 times higher than the cities nearby, about 2 time higher than in big cities like NY, Houston.

      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.
