Pros

It is great to be in NY as a PhD student. There are wonderful events in the university. The engineering school is small but there are very good professors. People are cooperative, there is no disturbing competition between the students. Many opportunities to collaborate with Brookhaven National Lab and other close by institutions.

Cons

In some departments lab facilities are not sufficient. Pay is less than it;s supposed to be.
