Great quality of coursework. Excellent professors. Prestigious name. Fun to say I went to Cal.

Large program so navigating through can be more challenging on one's own.

I would urge anyone to strongly consider this program for any academic needs they might have

Yes

Great Professors - passionate about what they teach

Great career resources

Name value of the school

Location is terrible

Notorious Grade Deflation

Can get lost in the masses sometimes

Great if you want to learn the material and are truly interested in whatever you are studying but if you're in it for grades or other qualifications you need to keep in mind the grade deflation - the amount of work you put in is far higher than what you can show for it.
