Sophia

My school is probably best known for its rivalry with Arizona State University. This rivalry is almost completely based on sports, not academics. That means that football and basketball are huge deals on our campus. Because of this, my school does have a lot of school spirit, which is nice.

Abrar

The University of Arizona is best known for being diverse in the students that attend the University. Also the University has mutliple major choices that are rarely found in other colleges or even discussed. It is also known for its bookstores which give whatever the funds they receive straight to the University which helps them to sponsor all the activities they need to fund.

Brianna

The University of Arizona is known for countless traditions but perhaps the most exciting is it's excellence in athletics, including it's fans. The Zona Zoo is said to be the "most feared" student section in the Pac-12. Three years ago, we were national champs in Baseball. For the past two years, our basketball team has made it to the finals. Our football team has appeared in two bowl games in the past two years. And did I mention when we blew the Oregon Ducks out of the water last season? Bear Down!

ZONA ZOO!!! I decided on the U of A after going on a campus tour. The tour guide was so energetic and radiated his enthusiasm for this school. The icing on the cake was when he sang our fight song on our old auditorium (now an advising building) and other students joined in with him.

I don't believe there is one thing that the University of Arizona is best known for. The UA excells in many areas including Nursing, Physics, Anthropology, Geosciences, Astronomy, etc. as well as sports. To those not attending or affiliated with the University of Arizona, it is merely one of the most excellent schools in the country. To the students, staff and faculty, the UA is known as an educational playground, a sophisticated center of higher learning, and above all, the home that drives, encourages and inspires all who attend towards lifetime success.

Rachel

My school, the University of Arizona, is best known for its immense amount of school spirit. After only one year at this university I already feel a part of a tight-knit community who's passionate about everything from academics to clubs to sporting events. My graduating high school class had only ninety-three students so I was worried about attending such a large university but I could not have felt more included and excited about being a Wildcat at the University of Arizona.

Mikayla

Research is one of the most important aspects of the University of Arizona. In fact, the University of Arizona is home to the only National Cancer Institute headquartered in Arizona. We take pride in our medical programs and the University of Arizona Cancer Center is a forerunner in research on women’s cancers and men’s cancers, as well as, many others. Our center is home to 73 research labs, and has received more than $53 million dollars in expenditures. We strive to excel in everything that we do at the University of Arizona, and research is no exception.

Kaley

I think the University of Arizona is known for its school spirit and its pride in student career services. The school spirit at this school is unbelieveable. Sporting events are always crazy, loud, and fun! When it comes to student career services, the University of Arizona is one of the top ones that I have seen. They take pride in always hosting carrer seminars and practice interviews, that in turn will help prepare students for future jobs in the real world.

Judy

My school is best known for his academics in health professions in the medical field. The University of Arizona is an excellent medical school for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Kevin

My school is best known for sports, specifically basketball, and partying. However, I wish that U of A had a different national reputation. Members of the Tucson community understand that there is so much more to the University of Arizona than parties and sporting events. We have an extremely diverse, innovative, and creative student body who excell in a variety of areas such as business, the arts, engineering, and social science. There is so much more to my school than meets the eye.

Valentina

My school is best know for the amazing basketball team that we have. This year we were among the final 8 for the championship from all over the United States. We also have a campus that makes you feel as a college student.

Cassidy

The University of Arizona is a top research 1 university. They are known for being a pretty good public education, and they have good graduate programs.
