      Pros

      Great health/dental ins from the State of Maryland, TAship pays for tuition plus more than enough to live on, while not taking up anywhere close to the "20 hours" they say you work.

      Cons

      Class sizes have grown so large that it is much harder to give individualized attention, and the students likely suffer.
