ratingOverall experience

Be self-directed! That said, there is tons of support available if you seek it out.

ratingSelection process and gaining admission

The department is very international in its research focus, though not necessarily in its composition. Most of the "international" students have double citizenship (including US). Though the department is happy to accept international students, if you do not have US citizenship, it may be difficult to get funding.

ratingFunding and scholarships

Warning: If you do not have US citizenship, it may be difficult to get funding.

ratingYour study experience

The faculty and students are incredible from an intellectual point of view. Collaboration among grad students is high. Emphasis on professionalization is lacking.

ratingYour life experience

The Bay Area is realllllllly nice, though it can get expensive! Most graduate students are able to get by, though we all complain about how poor we are.

ratingJob prospects

We're known as some of the best/brightest grad students out there, so job prospects can't be much better coming from anywhere else.
