Zakelijk vooruitzicht
Pluspunten
Troy community and RPI campus are active, inclusive, and friendly; lots of nature trails; lecturers, admins, and staff are passionate and helpful; RPI health center is available to students (I thought it was good, but my peers were unsatisfied); stipend covers most rent locations in the area; TA'ing to receive stipend is available for the first two years of graduate work.
Minpunten
Grad life is stressful; advisors can be difficult to communicate with or receive help from, making work feel isolating; academic drive is constant, and juggling time-sensitive responsibilities means that genuine time-off feels irresponsible and result in burnout. the actual workload is at the upper limit of realistic, but can easily get out of hand.
