Pros

Great campus in spring and summer. Great facilities including research labs, fitness. Office spaces are nice. Not much traffic.

Cons

Winter is way too long, and freezing cold. Ithaca is a little town, not much to do (apart from enjoying nature) especially in winter time, study, work, work. Also, there is not much sunshine especially during winter. Winters are tough here.

Pros

I have learnt lots of stuff. The team that I worked with was very strong, particularly the professor who is very famous for her field.

Cons

As I was not assigned a buddy or supervisor so I had to find a way to solve various problems.
