Pros

MIT allows to work with the best talents in the world, supervised by top-tier professors, and in the highest levels as infrastructure. The campus offers many complementary activities, including sports (two gyms with pools and fields), cultural associations and clubs.

Cons

Workload and expectations are very high, weekends are often dedicated to research or study. Boston and Cambridge are quite expensive.
