      Pros

      It's great to work either downtown or the Lincoln Park campus.

      Cons

      Same "con" as any city job: to keep your commute short, you have to pay high rents that are near public transport.

      Resident Assistant Experience

      Pros

      The benefit of accessible housing in the tuition and a stipend is excellent for the position. Once a month, or every quarter, we have to update our bulletin boards for topics important to the university or the time of year. We're given supplies and decorations for our boards, and I've always enjoyed creating them.

      Cons

      - Depending on the location of your assigned hall, your routine rounds could vary from 10 to 40 minutes. - The position is currently facing some revisions that make scheduling shifts a little more inconvenient for employees.
