Pros

Teaching assistant-ship pays for tuition and most fees, if you have 25% appointment or above (10 hrs per week). If you are over 25% the benefits are very good. If less, then it's an average part-time job for a grad student (time that might be better utilized finishing your degree quicker).

Cons

Facilities are not well-maintained. Learning labs (computer lab, mechatronics lab, machine shop) are a mess.

UCR ain't half bad

Pros

Great faculty, nice campus, access to many tons of resources if you know how to find them. UCR has a lot of hidden gems and has been rapidly expanding since I graduated. The rec center and botanic gardens are both excellent. Cheap if you are in state.

Cons

The whether is awful at times. The campus is in a bad part of town, once you get a couple of blocks out its all seedy motels and shady characters. Not quite the bustling city life you would find in a place like LA or SF but down town still has a fair amount to offer.
