Pros

Incredibly smart peers and advisor, great research environment, strong and easy access to cross domain resources, easy to start own initiatives

Cons

personally challenging- it is easier to have high expectations that lead to great pressure, highly competitive environment and colleagues might not have time to worry about you, students are independent and sometimes the cohort is not necessarily tight knit.

Pros

Fantastic work-life balance and lots of freebies. Join the sailing program! They teach you for free!

Cons

Got hit by the federal cuts. Not their fault but you would think they'd have better savings
