Pros

Allows for somewhat independent thought, although not much. Benefits are ok, could be better. Some departments are not sexist. Good bus service.

Cons

If you don't have a PhD your ideas will be dismissed, and then called brilliant at another meeting when a PhD suggests the exact same idea.

Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
