      Mixed experiences, highly dependent on advising - Graduate Research Assistant MIT Employee Review

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Incomparable resources, institutional reputation and opportunities to participate in world-class research (and learn from a handful of excellent teachers)

      Cons

      Experience is highly dependent on fit with lab & advisor, and since MIT doesn't implement rotations like other institutions (e.g. Harvard), you are to some degree going in "blind" to graduate school
