University of Arizona Top Questions

My decision was narrowed to Universities in Arizona, because my tuition waiver was only possible In-state. The weather in Tucson is absolutely goreous, and Tucson is centered around the University of Arizona. Without a Major League Baseball or NFL team, its citizens are overly enthused with collegiate sports. Arizona State University is overrated in my books, with too much underage partying and the whole city of Phoenix surrounding their college life. I wanted to ecsape and live in a college haven, which I have found here in at the beautiful campus of the University of Arizona.

The University of Arizona really does feel more like a family. Even just walking in between everyone seems so friendly and you can see the school spirit all around you. The campus might be big but it is a really beautiful one. The U of A also has great academic programs which allows me to attend a great school while still being able to be close to all my family and friends. The U of A is really a one a kind experience.

The University of West Florida provided a small college feel but still provided numerous academics programs and degrees allowing me to get the degree I wanted but still know all my professors and the other students.

The U of A has a sense of school pride that can be experienced in multiple areas - not just sports - but also research, dance, environmental friendliness and community.

This school is unique because the school pride among all students is apparent to any visitor. During the elite eight run last year for the NCAA tournament, the school came together, the excitement was high, and being a part of this community made me want to come back no matter what the cost was.

There are many things unique to the University of Arizona. My personal favorite are the professors. They are so willing to help you learn and succeed. They go out of their way to provide office hours and study session designed with you in mind. Also, the weather here is beautiful. It is sunny and warm almost every month! There are also many clubs, and your bound to find one you will enjoy! I am apart of the University of Arizona Marching Band, (Baton Twirler) and it has been hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had!

The city of Tucson doesn’t have that much of a population and what I like about the University is that is consumes a lot of students that brings life to the city every year. Another detail about U of A is the beauty of Saguaro cactus that surrounds you throughout the day. The feeling of being in the desert just gets better when you’re experiencing it with the University of Arizona.

Compared to the other schools I considered, I chose the University of Arizona because of its connections within the community. These connections allow students to intern in teaching hospitals, contribute to frontier research and gain work experience with the type of companies that can not only advance your experience but can also develop into a future career.

I graduated early from high school and was only 16 when I entered college. The difference between this school and others I may have considered was that the UofA was close to home.

The University of Arizona is full of history. The original University of Arizona building, Old Main, sits in the middle of campus. The aged essence of campus is beautifully intigrated with the new. Less than a 5 minute walk south of Old Main are two of the most state of the art student residents halls, that use solar energy and are made from mostly recycled materials. We also have ground breaking discoveries made at the university by some of the most world renound and up and coming scientists in their feilds.
