On the one hand, I want to warn students not to come to my program. On the other hand, I don't want to be "that guy," and I also don't want to tarnish the reputation of the specific people I worked with (who I mostly like).
More specifically:
I want to warn students about lack of funding, administration being uncaring towards students, certain PhD requirements being a lot more onerous than they say they are, general departmental atmosphere and culture among the grad students, general culture of the school, poor location, etc etc.
Also my school is the only top school in my field that has a "rotation system" for picking advisors, and that is generally framed as a benefit, and a reason to choose the school. But I don't think students really realize how much rotations suck until after they've come here.
