Pros

Columbia University is a leading university in New York City, they offer good child care, and education benefits for faculty and officers with children.

Cons

Administrative management leaves something to be desired. An overall lack of strategic thinking permeates the institution, though there are plenty of great departments, centers, etc which are better.

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
