      Pros

      Stanford provides an environment strongly supportive of academic research, collaboration and early career productivity. Ample chances for travel, and large support in academical travel opportunities. Additionally, the departmental culture feels inclusive and friendly, much helped by the daily tea, sponsored by the department and organized by the grad students.

      Cons

      The commute between Stanford Campus and San Francisco is slightly on the steep side. Furthermore, with the attraction of the university, it's not easy to get traction to deal with the 2-body problem.

      Pros

      The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

      Cons

      A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
