Pros

Because it is the best engineering school around the world. In addition, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology you can learn endlessly from others and you can share knowledge with the best or with very smart people. After your studies, you are basically able to go to work wherever you want and prefer. Career opportunities are never-finishing and unimaginable. Most of engineering invention have been discovered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; therefore you can properly imagine who are you meeting with or who are you working with and for. Although you do not love the hard working style, every single student or employee will learn and feel it.

Cons

You cannot have a normal life, and you sleep few hours each week.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
