Pros

My post doctoral fellow and PI are fantastic making the research experience very worthwhile. Additionally, I receive academic credit for my research. I highly recommend UCLA as a place to learn what research is all about.

Cons

As an undergraduate researcher at UCLA you will most likely never get paid. There are however some stipends and grants that one can apply for if he or she meets the given criteria. They are limited and not guaranteed even if you are a hard working student.

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

Pros

Working with students is satisfying and fulfilling. It also helps yourself retain information you have learned from past courses.

Cons

The Peer Learning Unit is poorly managed, and it is difficult to communicate with your supervisors.
