      Pros

      Because it is the best engineering school around the world. In addition, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology you can learn endlessly from others and you can share knowledge with the best or with very smart people. After your studies, you are basically able to go to work wherever you want and prefer. Career opportunities are never-finishing and unimaginable. Most of engineering invention have been discovered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; therefore you can properly imagine who are you meeting with or who are you working with and for. Although you do not love the hard working style, every single student or employee will learn and feel it.

      Cons

      You cannot have a normal life, and you sleep few hours each week.

      Great place but a bad advisor could ruin it.

      Pros

      Lots of prestige, access to resources, best talent and the name. Cambridge or Boston are great cities to live in. You'll enjoy the night life and range of things to do in Boston if you have the time.

      Cons

      High stress environment, expensive cost of living, low income! Academia, so there's politics and ego. Your success and enjoyment depends largely on your major, degree, and advisor. Choose very wisely and REALLY talk to people when you visit. You have to decide if it's worth it. There aren't many resources for graduate students with troubles with advisors that have any effectiveness because you're an at-will employee.
