Business Outlook
Pros
Departments are very open to grad student exchange and collaboration. Egos are relatively compact. People are brilliant, research facilities are extremely good.
Cons
In the middle of nowhere. Travel times are ridiculous. No decent careers available for spouses, and very little feedback or fertilization from industry. Little contact with political power networks. Tuition is high, which does not affect grad students out of pocket, but certainly puts downward pressure on budgets and available research jobs.
