Pros

They were great to me, the people were wonderful, considerate, let me take time off as needed. I would work here again.

Cons

There were not many cons. I enjoyed my work, the people I worked with and the physical environment.

Pros

There is absolutely nothing- no wait, it is not far from L.A. And San Diego

Cons

Business TA's are really exploited. Discussion sections in business are twice the size of discussion sections in any other part of the university. Worse, graduate classes in business for which you pay an extra $ 20k per year are huge compared to all other graduate classes on campus where the students don't pay extra. The building stinks. Faculty are worthless and the good ones keep leaving. Stay far away.

Pros

Decent facilities and graduate student resources through Grad Division and Graduate Student Association. Your experience, as with any graduate program, will be dependent upon your major advisor and whether his/her advising style suites you.

Cons

I found there to be a lack of courses within my department. I received little training for the techniques I was to use in my research. A lack of TAships is becoming a big problem and leaves some students struggling for funding.
