Stipend is competitive; tons of resources and opportunities for academic and personal development. Excellent research environment; everyone you meet is highly competent.

Narrow range of disciplines compared to many other universities; takes an effort to find people outside of the engineering/math/science fields. Cambridge is relatively expensive to live in.
