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.

Pros

The health care and support services for grad students at UCSD are good compared to other schools I know of.

Cons

The usual RA's salary made it difficult to live comfortably in such an expensive city, especially with regard to housing.
