Pros

It's in New York City and a lot of smart people to work around. Surrounded by interesting science and interesting people.

Cons

Washington Heights is not a very exciting neighborhood to work in. Columbia does not maintain a real academic atmosphere, it feels like the hospital it is.

Pros

Lots of smart people! Great place to learn from, being in NYC is a big plus!

Cons

None, just starting out! NYC is expensive, maybe subsidizing the subway commute would help.

Pros

They have a lot of resources, the campus is pretty, the students are engaged

Cons

They censor your political speech, punish you for activism, and have been known to call the NYPD to commit police brutality on campus
