Pros

Ivy League University ...excellent academic setting, distinguished teachers, world class research. University town, vibrant student life, Harvard vs Yale games.

Cons

Weather - Cold and Miserable, snow, crime rates are very high, astonishing in fact given the sheer number of students

Pros

Very collegial (as one might expect), good work/life balance as far as grad schools go, and very good support from administration ranging from significantly above average stipends to career services and student life activities.

Cons

As with most prominent academic institutions, many big egos and dead weight, sometimes mediocre teaching at the grad level. Also, very little industry collaboration vs other schools (i.e. Stanford, MIT, etc).

Pros

Yale is a great university with some of the most brilliant minds in the world. Working there is a chance to learn through osmosis.

Cons

New Haven is not exactly the safest city on the planet --then again, it isn't the most dangerous either. Just be careful
