Pros

Working as a Computer Science Course Aide was a meaningful and rewarding experience. I was trusted to support introductory programming students from many different backgrounds while also helping shape a relatively new role within the department. The faculty were supportive, open to feedback, and genuinely committed to improving the student experience. It was especially fulfilling to see that my work could make computer science feel more approachable for students who were still finding their place in the field.

Cons

Because the role was still developing, expectations and responsibilities could occasionally be unclear or change over time.

Pros

If you can't afford or can't get into the University of Minnesota, and you can't afford or don't want to leave the Metro, Metro State is the college of last resort.

Cons

It was a toxic workplace before I started, and it continued to be a toxic workplace after I left. I take comfort in the fact that the people who made it toxic continue to work there, and the people who tried to make a difference were able to get out.
