Research labs have good funding but the UC system chooses to cut corners in compensating graduate students - Graduate Teaching Assistant bei UC Riverside: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

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

Good balance and structure depending on the professor you work for. Good recommendations from professor for life.

Professors will take credit for your work and overwork you at times.
