Pros

Public transportation in Boston is great! MIT also has a excellent attitude when it comes to developing an inclusive and open campus environment.

Cons

Winter in Boston can be challenging to say the least. Likewise, cost-of-living in the area make a student/postdoc less attractive.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
