Pros

UCSD is a premier research institution with all the resources a postdoctoral scholar needs. The campus is pretty and the weather is great. While not directly on the beach, you can walk down the hill and take a break on the sand.

Cons

UC San Diego doesn't have a college town feel. It's stuck in the middle of strip mall suburbia and you have to drive to get to any cool neighborhood.
