Pros

- Student/faculty interactions (ex. UROP program, students given chance to work with faculty, given chance to contribute ideas...although this varies depending in project) - A lot of freedom as to what to study (requirements, etc.) - Very open-minded people

Cons

- Lots of pressure - Can sometimes get hectic although lively - Administration not particularly transparent (ex. meal plan, places to buy food inadequate...)
