Pros

MIT lives up to its reputation in pretty much every way. It has a distinct culture that values innovation, rigorous science, and originality. There is a truly collaborative atmosphere here.

Cons

The weather in Boston is pretty awful for most of the year. Living in Cambridge is expensive. Not many lunch options in the middle of campus.
