Pros

- Diverse students. - Fun campus if you make an effort to be involved.

Cons

- Many professors might have an accent so thick you'll hardly be able to understand them. - They cancelled many of the tuition-funded school sponsored concerts in my 4 years. - There is no parking. You can have a parking pass, but the chances of you finding a spot after 9am is slim to none.

Pros

-All the festivities, programs and activities for staff around campus -The overall atmosphere around campus (academia vs. corporate culture) -Nice areas to walk around campus -There's been a big push campus-wide to focus on staying active and fit, even during the work day, so it's not uncommon to have semi-structured meetings outdoors (!) and have people standing during a long training or meetings.

Cons

-PARKING. They seriously need to put some parking structures around the interior of campus or add *quick* shuttles to get you around. -Public transportation to/around UCR is not very useful. -Depending on your department (supervisor & colleagues) you will find the gambit of either awful or wonderful places to work. It really depends and varies greatly across departments.
