Certain programs are better than others. The Business college (Eller) cultivates driven businessmen; the SBS program is weak. The language and humanities colleges need sever improvement. Most of my professors know my name because I take that effort to get to know them. My favorite classes are usually my language classes, like Portguese: more involved teachers. The worst thing is that the majority of the general education professors take their courses too seriously. They don't seem to get that it's only gen ed.

All classes are different, in smaller classes professors usually know our names, but it's rare for a professor to know your name if you're in a large lecture class of 200 students. If you go to office hours, you will usually get noticed. Some of my favorite classes are when the professor truly enjoys what they are teaching and you can tell they have a strong passion for you to learn and understand. Least favorite are when the professors are not approachable and are uncompromising. I don't know about most students, but I have homework everyday and that in itself is very time consuming. Class participation will only occur if the student feels comfortable enough to speak up in class. This is partly due to the professor who initiates this kind of environment. From the people that I have spoken to, some will have a lot to say and are opinionated, but others have no idea what they are taking about when trying to say something intelligent. Arizona students are very competitive, well the one's who care. Most unique class I've taken was German Feminist Writers of the 20th Century.

Arizona academics is good. The classes are just the right size.

the professors care about their lectures and their students. the departments go very in-depth with the material the more you go into the courses. arizona is surprisingly amazing at research also

It is easy to be anonymous at this school, but then again it is easy to be heard if you try. No intellectual conversations happen... ever.

The Eller College of Management (the business school at Arizona) is top 15 in the nation.
