Pros

MIT has a lot of very great people and a very lively community. Moreover, there is the infinite number of opportunities that you have access to and the things you can do with your life through those opportunities.

Cons

The school is a lot of work and you really need to learn to manage your time well. Sometimes, it is a little hard to focus with so many people around and so many activities going on. Although it is great to have so many opportunities, you also need to learn to choose.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
