      Pros

      It's a great environment, with smart students and great opportunities for interdisciplinary research (among others). Also allows for a lot of flexibility with both work and work time - though the final say is at your PI's hands.

      Cons

      Your experience will widely depend on the departments / colleagues/ advisor (when applicable). Some departments and groups can be quite political.

      Pros

      It's the best school in the world, in terms of quality of life and education value. I could not recommend it higher.

      Cons

      Insular culture, at times. The "duck syndrome" is very much part of the DNA. Also, some people are socially inept, but such is the case at any school.
