Pros

Great weather, close to the beach, world-class facilities, highly intelligent and mostly personable professors. Most facilities used for research are relatively new.

Cons

Dealing with the personality of LA people, no campus bar, little appreciation by the UCLA community, compensation not commensurate with effort required or cost-of-living

Pros

Good hours, flexible to student time schedule, allowed me to do homework on the job

Cons

Sometimes, other students don't take your full shift and leave like 30 mins of your shift if you give it up

Pros

Great health insurance - I'm told it's really quite fire (no lie) Great location - love Westwood (sandwiched by Brentwood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills) Union is tremendously supportive

Cons

Campus dining options are kinda weak - breaks my heart to eat the same thing every day
