Pros

- Student/faculty interactions (ex. UROP program, students given chance to work with faculty, given chance to contribute ideas...although this varies depending in project) - A lot of freedom as to what to study (requirements, etc.) - Very open-minded people

Cons

- Lots of pressure - Can sometimes get hectic although lively - Administration not particularly transparent (ex. meal plan, places to buy food inadequate...)

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.
