Pros

There are great student resources on campus, and UCR is generally a supportive environment. The surrounding community is growing and developing.

Cons

There is a fair amount of crime in the neighborhood near campus, and the pay is quite low - though comparable to other graduate student positions. Departments vary in how supportive they are of graduate students.

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
