First off, Arizona State University offered me more scholarships, yet I chose this school because of two reasons. 1) University of Arizona had a far better and prestigous reputation in terms of their pharmacy, science, space and research programs. 2) Given this schools reputation I thought I'd learn better in this kind of environment. Turns out, a decent chunk of professors in the science department and math department are horrible "teachers". They absolutely cant teach. They inform, but they dont engage students or let them think things through conceptually, analytically, etc. I regret my decision of choosing this school.

One thing I really enjoy about this school is its heavy influence from the Latin American community, mostly the Mexican American community. It gives a different flare and culture to the University that I have not seen anywhere else. I like that I can buy UofA gear that is in Spanish and I like the fact that we have many different types of student here from many countries because it is such a Spanish friendly campus.

This school has an excellent pharmacy school and they have a medical center that is used for students to do rotations or volunteering. Also, the Eller College of Management has ranked #14 in managment in public schools. Since I'm majoring in Pharmacy and Business Management, this school allows me to do both simultaneously.

The open campus is so beautifully kept, with smiling faces everywhere. The sun shines down and you couldn't be more pleased with the enviroment. There are so many spots to socialize, or be left alone to study which is something, I don't think, could be found at ASU in the loud polluted Tempe city surrounded by noise.

The University of Arizona is unique compared to other schools due to its size, beauty, weather, and academic/social environment. The large campus of the U of A is lined with palm trees and various other species of flora due to the year round warm weather. Making it one of the most beautiful in the United States. The academic possibilities for a larger school, such as the U of A, are close to endless with large grants awarded by the government and many other organizations which allow for such an outstanding science department. Also the social aspect is outstanding.

I believe that my school has the best student section for athletics. ZonaZoo is full of spirited students cheering on the University of Arizona and it is such a great opportunity to belong to a school with that much pride and enthusiasm.

Being part of a sorority has really changed my college experience. It made the campus seem smaller and made it so I had more friends right off the bat. This network is very unique and so wonderful!

It's not different, because our school is rather the same compared to others.

The University of Arizona South is the only university available in the southeastern region of Arizona. I am very thankful University of Arizona South has a teacher education program in Douglas which has given me the opportunity to reach my academic goals. Unlike many universities, my school is mindful of the needs of students living in rural communities. I was unable to finish my career for years because there were no universities available near Douglas Arizona. I greatly appreciate University of Arizona South has given me a second chance.

A unique feature about the University of Arizona is it's location. Although Tucson isn't known for great night life or fun activities it makes up for it in other areas. Tucson is home to the Biosphere 2 and Observatory. I see this to be unique for at night the little city is almost pitch dark. Law makers saw it neceraary so various stars and constaltions could be seen at the observatory.
