Pros

In terms of academics, there are lots of talented, extremely well qualified professors who can change your life here. In terms of social culture, I can't speak too much to it because I was a transfer student who commuted to campus--I largely steered clear of frats, social clubs, etc. and just stuck to my own Los Angeles friends outside of school.

Cons

The campus is really large, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your needs. You have more options, but it's easier to get lost in the shuffle.

Pros

Great health insurance - I'm told it's really quite fire (no lie) Great location - love Westwood (sandwiched by Brentwood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills) Union is tremendously supportive

Cons

Campus dining options are kinda weak - breaks my heart to eat the same thing every day

Pros

Working with students is satisfying and fulfilling. It also helps yourself retain information you have learned from past courses.

Cons

The Peer Learning Unit is poorly managed, and it is difficult to communicate with your supervisors.
