Pros

I can collaborate with talented faculty members and students. MIT highly encourages multi-disciplinary research, so I have lots of freedom to collaborate with people from different departments. I can also select any graduate courses I like.

Cons

The winter here is terrible! The course studying here is very tough and time-consuming. Sometimes, the homework and course projects distract PhD students from their research.
