PROS:

-There is a range of classes and many of them are offered both online and on campus.
-The staff are very friendly and helpful.
-The refunds department is very helpful.
-Enrollment is easy to work with.
-Certificate programs can be more applicable to real world than some undergrad degrees

Neutral:
-There is a clear distinction between UCLA and UCLA Extension.

Cons:
-No student ID cards are issued to extension students
-Generally excluded from using library, recreational activities, some other resources that require a student ID.
-You do not get a student email account
-The extension parking permits are only usable after 4:30pm, so if you perhaps find yourself at the school to meet with your professor or student services earlier in the day, you will need to find another parking option.
-The Data Science Intensive program is not worth the money. You will likely need to Google all your coursework and homework.
