Pros

It is a small university - I think the internal competition is mild. Professors are excellent. Caltech attracts excellent visitors, so you can built connections with them.

Cons

It is a small university - there are only about 300 professors. There may be only one professor in some research areas, and some areas even don't have professor. If you are not getting along well with your advisor, it may be very hard to find another professor who is working on related areas.

Pros

Science-driven, small, lots of funding, opportunities to collaborate with research groups and industry. It is also a very diverse workplace. Great facilities and staff.

Cons

The only thing that I would change about caltech is the gym. They should spend more money on improving the soccer field and the track.
