Pros

A lot of perks to make the campus feel like home. Which is important because you'll be spending the majority of your hours awake here to keep up with the level of work and industriousness of your peers.

Cons

Not too much. Sometimes people get burned out but the culture makes it difficult to present anything other than success and happiness.
