      I have been working at UT Southwestern Medical Center full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Strong faculty provide cutting edge experiences in diverse scientific fields. Great graduate student community. Only one year of in-room classes.

      Cons

      Since it is a medical center, it does not have an undergraduate population. Experience with colleagues varies among departments. Not that many industry-related experience opportunities.
