      Intellectually Incredible Place to Work

      Pros

      Incredible intellectual energy. At MIT, you're surrounded by brilliant people, which is incredibly invigorating. Graduate-level classes are well-balanced with a near-optimal combination of theory and application. The school is positively buzzing with entrepreneurial and innovative energy -- it's tough not to get caught up in it and want to run off and start your own business based on what you've learned/seen/thought of.

      Cons

      Be prepared to feel like the underdog here. Everyone is so brilliant that it's difficult not to feel a little down about your own performance often. The Cambridge area is quite expensive -- be prepared to spend a lot of money for living expenses.

      Pros

      its a great research institutation. i feel like i'm pat of a team, but I get to work alone, all by myself with my brilliance. (haha). the reseach you do is based on quality, not quantity. (unlike some other forums.) FYI: ction is about getting grounded in AI by reading. It points at the most important journals and has some tips on how to read. is about becoming a member of the AI community: getting connected to a network of people who will keep you up to date on what's happening and what you need to read. is about learning about fields

      Cons

      graduate stuents all over are super poor.
