      Pros

      very supportive administrative staff some of the best researchers in the world lovely campus fantastic research facilities small, close-knit environment

      Cons

      very small, so not as many social or extracurricular opportunities very intense environment! (though, of course, everything depends on your advisor) LA is a boring city if you don't like the Hollywood atmosphere
