Pros

Exposure and the knowledge of the people around. You get to work on some excellent projects depending on your professor. If one is interested in a field, then I guess purdue is a great place for graduate degrees.

Cons

Pressure - totally depends on your professor though. Funding within the department has been a problem to many new professors off late and doesn't look like getting better any time soon especially if you are in engineering and not in energy or bio-related field.
