The worst thing about the University of Arizona is the religious extremists and bigots that can always be found around the union and UA's mall. They are normally extremely conservative individuals who preach their close-minded views to anyone nearby. They rudely target people involved in Greek life or members of the LGBT community. Their presence is very upsetting to most people, but since it is technically a public college, nothing can really be done to remove them from campus.

The lack of academic integrity and discipline is a frustrating sight to see on my school’s campus. Students place a heavier emphasis on partying and lounging around than caring for their studies. Although striking a balance between going to school and having a social life is difficult at times, I have seen some classes only a quarter occupied because students choose to do other activities instead of attending class. There should be more punitive measures for ditching classes, but I suppose it is a lesson that life will teach inevitably. Some people care, and others do not.

I think the worst thing is that the students do not take classes as seriously as they should sometimes. There is a big focus on social lives, which are very important, but your career is the most important.

I think the worst thing about the University of Arizona is that it is know as a party school. From my experience the majority of students are here to grow in their educational field.

The worst thing about the University of Arizona is that greek life is overwhelming and too big and some people make it seem like being apart of greek life is necessary to have fun and make friends.

One thing at the University of Arizona that I find to be the worst thing is the construction that is going on with the greater part of the campus. The city of Tucson is currently doing a massive regeneration and vitalization of its downtown area and the University of Arizona, being not too far away, has also been looped into this. Because of that, navigating your way through the hurdles of construction sites and zones can be a nuisance. But once it is all finished, I am sure the results will indeed be well worth it.

In my opinion, the worst thing about this school is that the social scene is controlled by greek life. Sororities and fraternitites are a huge deal here and if you are not in one it is easy to feel left out. It seems like they are everywhere and all dress and act the same. It can be frusterating at times to feel like the only way you can have a social life is to join greek life.

The dining options on campus tend to be a little limited, which for students who reside in the dorms and do not have off campus access can be a down side. I would have to consider this the worst thing about the school, because after a long day of classes, a fresh healthy meal always sounds appealing.

A majority of my classes are very big so it is difficult to get attention from the professor. This can be really challenging if a student is not understanding the material because it is almost impossible to get help from the professor. If a professor moves at a much faster pace than you are used to you will have to turn to other utilize resources such as tutoring or your textbook.

It is hard to make friends if you are not involved in Greek life.
