Pros

Access to the library. 2/2 teaching load.

Cons

Unstable leadership. Unprofessional colleagues. Living in repressive hellstate. State legislature constantly defunding public education. People come here to act petty and exert control through domination and rejecting change, whether pedagogical, social, and personal. Maintain status quo at all costs.
