Pros
MIT is full of extremely brilliant and hard-working people. In my time there, the people I met never ceased to amaze me. The professors are world-renowned, the students driven and motivated to succeed, and the environment is very intellectually stimulating.
Cons
The facilities were not all at the caliber one would expect from a top-ranked school. Some areas were amazing, some forgotten. The basement labs in some buildings suffered heating/cooling and ventilation issues, a general lack of maintenance, and even occasional minor flooding (couple of inches of water). As a graduate student, these unnecessary events were a distraction and a waste of time.
