Pros

Access to professors, classes on anything you need, good libraries, most technical software is available, good lab facilities

Cons

Funding can be hard to obtain for more than 1-2 semesters at a time. Even as a student, you end up spending a fair bit of time trying to obtain funding for your research instead of actually doing your research.
