Pros

All the staff here are very nice and helpful. Professors are generally nice. In terms of classes, you don't have too much choice. The good thing is in northern Virginia you don't need to drive several hours to go to a nearby big city for shopping or entertainment.

Cons

As a PhD student, the work life balance is zero. You have to work very hard, and don't have time to social. Life sometimes is boring.
