Pros

Higher super contribution and yearly wage increase

Cons

Researchers are not really considered when administrative decisions are made, often stalling research. New buildings means the researcher wears the cost of using the facilities.

Pros

The department of psychology is small yet produces a consistent research of a world standard. The Head of School at the time was very effective at bringing in world class researchers and the school is one of the leading departments in terms of research output at the University.

Cons

Much of the decor and design are from the 1970's. It gets very hot in summer. Adelaide is a relatively small city. It is close to the beach. Flinders is set in some nice hills, but it gets very dry.

Pros

The campus is located on a hill in Adelaide, with great views and a quiet environment—perfect for studying. Compared to Sydney and Melbourne, Adelaide is much more affordable, especially for rent and daily expenses.

Cons

The campus is in Bedford Park, a bit far from the city center. Public transport is mainly buses, which can be inconvenient at times.
