Pros

- As a *research* university, there are more professors than (graduate) students, which allow for great availability of funding AND mentoring for every admitted students.

Cons

- The lesser amount of students can be felt in a relatively less vibrant student life and collegiality, i.e. fewer people to exchange with, which should be a central component of graduate life. If you don't find a niche of research coinciding with an already established research group, there is a risk of spending much time alone.
