Pros

Lots of different groups and opportunities. The classes are challenging but make for a great education overall.

Cons

It's hard to walk up the hills especially if you live on campus, but it comes with having a big campus!

Pros

Great PI relationship and supportive staff. I received a lot of help from other researchers, it has a real sense of community.

Cons

Could be a little bit political in the higher ranking faculties Extremely long hours, including weekend work but I knew that going in, just never realized how extensive it is.

Pros

UCLA has a relative unlimited access to all types of sources and friendly environment with little restrictions. You have all the freedom to work towards your aim if you are strongly self-motivated and decisive in actions

Cons

Lack of completion and full of bureaucracy. People are sticking too strictly to the unnecessary routines without giving them a thorough thought. Recently ,due to the tight budget, they are working extremely hard to increase revenue in inappropriate ways ,such as increasing employee' house renting and parking fees.
