Pros

Decent facilities and graduate student resources through Grad Division and Graduate Student Association. Your experience, as with any graduate program, will be dependent upon your major advisor and whether his/her advising style suites you.

Cons

I found there to be a lack of courses within my department. I received little training for the techniques I was to use in my research. A lack of TAships is becoming a big problem and leaves some students struggling for funding.
