Pros
Generally positive and professional. Most departments treat GTAs as "colleagues in training." You’ll likely feel respected by faculty, though the workload can fluctuate wildly depending on the course and the professor you're assisting.
Cons
While West Lafayette is affordable, inflation and rent hikes are making the stipend feel tighter.
