The university is gaining much respect from bigger ivy league schools. We recently were called mission control for the Mars Lander space mission which is probably the universities greatest achievement yet. It is a university that is continuing to grow and make an impact in the lives of students.

I think the most unique thing about the campus at the University of Arizona is the acceptance the students have for all individuals. Every one is evaluated on his or her character, not appearance, race, financial status or other discriminatory trait.

The school I considered is close to my house.

There are numerous cultural opportunities on campus in the College of Fine Arts. The School of Theatre Arts puts on 10 productions year in its 2 performance spaces, while the School of Music has numerous concerts, recitals, symphonies and operas every year in their 2 performance spaces. The School of Dance puts on a number of dance shows, plus the theatre plays host to other local dance companies that rent the space. The School of Art also has its galleries and various shows throughout the year. The University art scene is tremendous and fits nicely with the Tucson art community.

It was much cheaper and there was a greater chance I would get in on research sooner than other schools.

The University of Arizona has many amazing science programs. We are nationally ranked for many of the undergraduate programs which really got my attention.

At the University of Arizona, specifically the School of Architecture that I attend, there is a unique culture that the students and faculty belong to. It feels like a family because both students and faculty are literally at the school's building between 12-16 hours a day, every day. The studio culture creates a different learning experience unique to everything else at the University of Arizona. I spend mostly every waking hour of each day thinking about or working on a number of complex architectural projects. It is stressful and demanding, but very rewarding.

It offers a well-rounded colleged experience. Not only does it have one of the top business schools in the nation but it also has a beautiful campus. I also go to school where there are great college sports to watch and obvious school spirit. Finally, greek life is huge on campus and it is great to have the opportunity to a part of that.

The university of arizona is like a city within the city of Tucson. The campus and the surronding area can stand on its own, with its students never leaving. However, if students choose to go outside the boundaries of the campus, there is amazing hiking around the Tucson area

It's relatively close to my home in Phoenix, an hour and a half away. I loved how it was SO big but that it was like a community- I didn't even go to I already bumped into 10 people that had gone to my high school when I was visiting the campus in one day! It's crazy that there can be 48,000 students. I wasn't ready for another small school- I liked the idea of not being another face in the crowd. Sports, campus cleanness, food seemed to rock!
