      Pros

      The Sasisekharan lab was the best lab that I could have ever worked for. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, accepting, and helpful. They were good people. Everyone worked really hard and together. It was a real community even though people were working on separate projects. Also, the spirit of MIT is just great in itself.

      Cons

      Nothing. It might be nice to have more cheap, good places to eat for lunch even though there are already a lot.

      Intellectually stimulating, cutting-edge environment that is socially lacking and extremely stressful.

      Pros

      Intellectually, the work at MIT and collaborative institutes such as the Broad or MGH are unparalleled. The science that occurs at MIT is sci-fi come to life and the professors have some of the most innovative, out-of-the-box approaches I've ever encountered.

      Cons

      The culture of MIT is extremely high stress and work-a-holism. While the peer competitiveness is much lower than you would expect at an institution of this caliber, there is great potential to feel depressed and socially isolated.
