Pros
Intellectually, the work at MIT and collaborative institutes such as the Broad or MGH are unparalleled. The science that occurs at MIT is sci-fi come to life and the professors have some of the most innovative, out-of-the-box approaches I've ever encountered.
Cons
The culture of MIT is extremely high stress and work-a-holism. While the peer competitiveness is much lower than you would expect at an institution of this caliber, there is great potential to feel depressed and socially isolated.
