Pros

I had a great experience in graduate school. My advisor supported me financially via connecting me with teaching opportunities and research assistantships. I learned a lot. Tuition was paid for.

Cons

The pay is not very good. I think most graduate students would be hard pressed to be able to pay for rent in a single-bedroom or studio apartment, however, if you share housing in a rented house, then you can scrape by without student loans.
