My experience and ESF was for the most part very positive. The courses were excellent and the faculty were very helpful and down to earth. However, there were a few professors within my department (EFB) who didn't play well with others. These conflicts seemed to be rooted in unequal resource allocation within the department and plain-old personality conflicts. Certain professors would not serve on committees together and seem to prejudge students depending on who their major professor was - I found this very disappointing. Some advice: interview your potential major professor CAREFULLY! Make sure you know what is expected of you and your time. Ask him/her how they plan to contribute to your project in terms of time, advice and financial support. Interrogate his/her present and past grad. students - this is very important!
