Pros

Being a graduate student at MIT means you have access to large pools of money and a world-class set of minds. This makes for a phenomenal experience.

Cons

The institute disincentives graduate students getting their own national fellowships when those have tuition shortfalls, as it has a very convoluted system to pay the difference that goes through the student.
