Pros
What makes MIT different than the other great research institutions is not how smart the people are - there are smart folks all over the place. The difference about MIT is the passion community members have for what they do... and how diverse those passions are.
Cons
Extremely challenging and it's very easy to feel stupid here. I've heard somebody say "MIT is the place where smart people can go to feel dumb". I wouldn't say you'll feel dumb but you definitely won't be the big fish anymore.
