Pros

Lots of resources, lots of smart people to work with. Most of the students are incredibly driven, and the top students are legitimately brilliant, so undergrad research projects are usually productive and fun.

Cons

Little guidance on the available resources. MIT is a big place and it can be hard to build connections with people not in your immediate research group.
