      I have been working at North Carolina State University full-time

      Pros

      Biomedical Engineering Department is shared between UNC and NCSU and there are an abundance of resources and faculty that are able to be used.

      Cons

      There are hidden fees (like ridiculous parking costs) that add up to a lot.

      Advice to Management

      Pay more attention to the fees being placed on graduate students.

      Pros

      Research level is absolutely high

      Cons

      Young Professors are hired based on their publication record and how much money they can bring. They are not hired based on their behaviour and relation with students. Selfish attitude is visible. High-level students (PhD and Postdocs) are mistreated and their skills are misused in those projects that are not related to them.
