When I am asked about my experience at UA, I tell them that I had the perfect combination of a rigorous and challenging education, life-changing and enriching social experiences, and that UA has set me on a path of lifelong learning. All of this is possible with 300 days of sunshine!

Great campus life--everythign you need is here. It's a big campus but feels small once you get to know it.

I love the campus, my roommate and the dorm, my classes are cool, and I am on my own.

Generally, I brag to my friends about the lack of essays I have to write. It seems like 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my friends have an essay do every week and I have probably writtern only 5 in my first semester as a freshman. This semester I will only have to write essays for extra credit, if I want to. Depending on your classes or teachers you might get out lucky!

I tell my friends that there are many opportunities to get to know people and interact with diverse cultures. It is also a great place to get an education because the classes are just the right level of difficulty. Many of the professors are helpful in finding ways to help students succeed with their studies. The men's basketball team is quite good and has a great history of being very competitive. The scenery is very beautiful with the tall mountains surrounding campus. The recreation center is very up to date and is a great place to exercise.

The thing I tell my friends back home about the most is probobly the awsome campus. I love how huge and new it is and how many people there are around all the time. From the mall to the amazing rec center I always have something bigger and better to talk about, especially with the new rec center expansion that just opened this semester. I have encouraged multiple friends to apply here next year and even might room with them too!

The University of Arizona is a beautiful one. The city of Tucson, though somewhat small-town, has a great deal of culture and personality. Many "Ma-and-Pa" type restaurants, stores, and outlets populate the city, giving residents lots of variety and choice. The campus itself is located in the middle of the city, has some amazing views of the mountains on either side, and boasts architecturally unique and inspiring learning environments.
