Pros

It's both challenging and fun working as a research assistant in MIT. I can work with excellent students. And the degree is treasured in the job market.

Cons

Course load is heavy. It's not easy to manage even I only take 2 courses in one semester. But anyway, challenging courses make me learn more.
