Pros

There is a variety of Health Insurance Plans to choose from, both HMO and PPO options. Once you select your plan, you get to choose you doctor from with in that network. The Vision plan is accepted almost everywhere as well as the Dental.

Cons

The co-pays and amount deducted from your check seem to go up every 2-3 years. You can't change Insurance plans when ever you want too. The opportunity to change is only once a year.

Pros

Great system, world renowned. The research being done here is phenomenal and you get to participate in it with a very friendly faculty.

Cons

There is a serious inability to get money from the central UC system down into the individual departments, especially if they are small. The bureaucracy here is worse than other major school systems.
