Pros

resources of government lab without as strict of regulations. Very accommodating to student schedules. Opens up a whole new network of connections unavailable at Berkeley. Easy access from campus

Cons

It is still a national lab with plenty of regulations and bureaucracy (excessive and frequent training courses is just 1 example).
