The Greek system completly dominates the social scene on campus. For a student that isn't in the Greek System it's hard for find a group of dependable friends.

In my opinion, the worst thing about the University of Arizona is that there are no cafeterias in the residence halls. Going out to eat for every single meal is sometimes inconvenient, and eventually students can get sick of the food because they eat at the same restaraunts every day. However, the main street of our campus, "University," has many additional restaurants that students can choose from, and the campus also provides students with great meal plans!

A lot of the dorms are not very good. Either they are really poor buildings with very bad facilities or there are nicer looking dorms that have a terrible reputation as a party dorm where ambulances are called nightly to take care of people who are dying of alcohol poisoning. Though, by next year, the new dorms will have been finished so maybe that will be better.

I feel that one of the worst things about The University of Arizona is the fact that there are not enough places on campus to go and eat after you have tried all of the options. Another is the fact that the winter and summer session courses come out about 3 to 6 weeks before the sessions even start. This can be frustrating because we are unable to plan ahead enough for Spring Session for example. The Spring Session courses come out before the winter session does.

The worst thing for me about attending this school has been the lack of information about financial aid and the processing of financial aid. The financial aid provided to students such as myself should be something that is adjusted as tuition increases arise. I have gone from my full tuition being covered my first semester to have to take out loans for thousands of dollars. If you are able to keep up your GPA as required by the scholarship you should be rewarded. Financial aid coverage should not change just because tuition cost increases.

The worst thing about the University of Arizona would have to be the lack of assisstance. Through the registration process, waiting on responses to calls, returning calls and having it go straight to voicemail, hearing about lectures or after school opportunities after it's too late to attend or participate. Also, the University of Arizona has a lot to offer academically, but I find their minor selection very minimal. Students looking to attend this school are looking for the best degree, and even though most majors require a minor, the choices are bleak.

As with any Univeristy there are things that people may not like. As for the Univeristy of Arizona the worst thing about it is the location. The univeristy is located in the southern part of Arizona in the city of Tucson. During the summer temperatures can get into the 110's, for some this may be unbearable, however it is possible to adapt to the weather. Also the weather has been known to change suddenly. At one moment it could be sunny then minutes later it coule be pooring rain.

Most of the students are from wealthy families and have different life style choices then I do (drinking, sex, fashion). I have never thought that there was a substantial difference in the people from the west coast (California) and the east coast (Boston & NJ). However now I have seen the difference and it is difficult to keep up with this lifestyle many students have here. It seems that they don't work, care about partying and how they look more than an education.

The worst thing about the University of Arizona, is the consistent increase of yearly dues. Tuition increased by three percent in one year. I am paying for college completely on my own and it frustrates me knowing that I will be approximatley 80,000 dollars in debt the minute I graduate. I wish there was a way the university could offer more finacial aid to some .

Some of the academic advisors could be a little more helpful with transfering/new students.
