Pros

Great advisors -- always at the ready to help steer in the right direction. As a relatively poor domestic student, and resident of CA, my entire Ph.D was covered with a handsome stipend to support me through my studies.

Cons

Grad division financial aid has been a pain at times. Last-minute changes to financial aid package caused significant stress more than once.
