Pros

The experience depends on the faculty advisor, but they are generally very kind and accommodating, and include RAs in discussion. Very responsive and good communication.

Cons

Aside from lab or group meetings, the experience can be isolating and very independent work. If you work in the lab, participants come from all over and can sometimes be rude or uncooperative.

Pros

There are a LOT of very smart people around. A good sense of comradery among graduate students.

Cons

It really depends on your advisor. Some advisors are very laid back and let you work on research and classes while others have you do a lot of work in the lab leaving very little time to work on your own research.
