Pros

Living in NYC is exciting in many ways.

Cons

The professors are unaccountable to the ideals they are supposed to uphold, commonly committing research fraud and getting away with it due to the overwhelming corruption that spans the professor's self-governance. Furthermore, the facilities for scientific research are poorly managed by the worst bureaucrats that can be found. The problem is compounded by the unreasonably high price of real estate in NYC. Go to any other university for your degree. Any state school with good facilities will outperform this place, its reputation is a fraud.
