Hi friends,
I'm a current Ph.D. student at UC (HB/NWS) and can vouch for at least the Div School and NELC being largely free of the sort of detrimental competition you mention above. There's a lot of camaraderie among Masters and Ph.D. students -- many of the students who had been there for a while when I showed up were especially friendly and helpful. The work's tough, of course, but people definitely aren't out to get one another and the seminar atmosphere is generally pretty relaxed.
Hope this helps. Glad to hear, matthew2725, that you had a good visit!

For me, it's the modern languages. I took Spanish in high school and early on in college, but really wish someone would've kicked me in the direction of French or German from at least the beginning of undergrad. Would've saved me a lot of time in the dictionary :-)
