Pros

Learning an abundance of information pertaining to tech, telecom, and media industries. Teamwork. Being amongst a large group of high-level scholars (pretty much everyone who interns there is from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, UChicago, NYU, etc.) Free trips and lectures. Just a good internship experience.

Cons

Low pay, if any. (interns do not get paid at all, completely voluntary). Sometimes you get really irritating work to do. Other than that, not many cons.

Pros

Lots of smart people! Great place to learn from, being in NYC is a big plus!

Cons

None, just starting out! NYC is expensive, maybe subsidizing the subway commute would help.

Pros

They have a lot of resources, the campus is pretty, the students are engaged

Cons

They censor your political speech, punish you for activism, and have been known to call the NYPD to commit police brutality on campus
