Pros

In terms of access to equipment for scientific research, they have excellent facilities that are staffed by real pros. Excellent health care coverage and new health center on campus.

Cons

Expectations are very high for research output, but that varies with individual professors. Gripes that basically come with being a graduate student-- we are undervalued and over worked.
