Pros

How you feel about PhD experience is highly dependent on what program are you in and who your adviser is. I'm in the AOS program, and most of the advisers are highly off-hands, especially mine. I'm free to spend my time to explore my own ideas or do totally unrelated stuffs. On the other hands, the faculties and fellow students and postdocs are highly supportive. It is especially satisfying to discuss problems with people smarter than you!

Cons

If you come up with your own projects, then you might feel you are not making progress because the faculties here probably will not hand you cooked ideas.
