lots of flexibility in terms of research direction, good housing benefits. location is ok (UES), but easy access to most of NYC's more exciting areas

Cons

work / life balance can be hard sometimes, long hours. compensation (stipend) good compared to other schools in the NYC area, but still on the low end
