Pros

Great people, incredibly intelligent and caring. Not a lot of pressure despite being one of the world's most famous tech schools. Nicely located in Kendall Sq, the biggest start up and biotech hub in the US (along with San Fran).

Cons

Like most academia, low monetary compensation. Facilities at MIT are fairly old in many areas and the school is still in the intermediate stage of upgrading.

Pros

You will learn many things and may get involve with a project that you need to collaborate with many scholars with different backgrounds. Money was enough to survive in Cambridge or Boston without problems. The atmosphere is amazing with lots of talks and visitors from my field and related fields all the time.

Cons

You feel lots of pressure sometimes while working on different projects. Finding good restaurants around MIT is almost impossible
