Pros

- Big name school - Great medical school for collaborations - Good core facilities - Distinguished faculty

As with any PhD, your experience totally depends on your advisor... So make sure you fit well with them as well as the lab.

Pros

Perfect for a student - lots of time to study. There isn't much to do except swipe key cards for entry. Pay is nice considering the amount of work to do.

Cons

There are terrible hours - I worked from 8 PM to 5 AM, and if there aren't enough people you have to pull double shifts.
