Pros
Lots of smart people...the undergrads can be a handful sometimes, though. The benefits package is good - it's surprisingly nice to be able to have most of one's health needs handled at the school's clinic on campus. During the summer, Ithaca is absolutely spectacular.
Cons
Bureaucracy can be enraging; to much organizational inertia for things to change very quickly. I imagine there is significant variation in the way graduate students are treated across departments, but I have not heard anything specific. Winter here can definitely get old - I am from a southern state, so it took a season to learn how to deal with it. However, I almost like it now.
