      You get what you put into it

      Pros

      There are an incredible number of opportunities for post-graduate careers that I've been able to explore in large part due to Harvard's and Boston's position as leaders in the healthcare/biotech fields.

      Cons

      Living in Boston on a grad student stipend is do-able, but not exactly comfortable You can choose to work in lab all the time and no one will stop you - you have to take the initiative to go out and find other opportunities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Really good benefits (3-4 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick time, health benefits, 11 paid holidays, paid Christmas break ,competitive salaries, education benefits, etc), Harvard tries to promote from within, at least in my department-room to get promoted or move to other departments, great people to work with

      Cons

      With Harvard relying on large endowment and the state of economy, fears about getting laid off
