Pros

Great place to learn from some of the best professors in the country. Outstanding research facilities, high level of national recognition, overall a great place to do graduate work.

Cons

Collaboration between research groups (including the sharing of facilities) could be better. Work environments vary widely depending on your advisor. Some groups have a very laid back atmosphere, while some have a strict schedule and responsibilities.

Good reputation, labs and technical capabilities are great. West Lafayette is a relatively safe and quite place. Home prices are cheap compared to big cities

Cons

Fees are too much for Grads, slow staff takes time to order something for experiments, benefits and insurance are terrible
