Pros

large school with a lot of resources, diversity, great faculties, student life and sport/gym/entertainment facilities are great, and of course the weather

Cons

bureaucratic; salary isn't high enough due to the living cost in LA; it's easy to get lost since it's such a big school

Pros

UCLA has good location, the professors are willing to interact and help out the students. The California Nanosystems institute is there as well

Cons

Sometimes you feel like your not important, also sometimes your costudents/coworkers can make you angry. Professors usually go for research that gives the most money, not what is the most interesting especially the MAE department

Pros

Fantastic institution with a number of resources to do research and lead discoveries in science. UCLA has a proven track record as one the leading research institutions in the nation.

Cons

As a postdoc you work long hours with little pay, if there was an hourly wage for the work that we do, it would be quite low.
