University of Arizona Top Questions

Someone who does not like large crowds of people, constant energy and events surrounding them, and someone who does not like hot weather.

The one piece of advice I would give a person considering coming to this school would be to have an open mind. This kids at this school have no tolerance for bigotry, racism, and hatred. You need to be accepting of other people and what their way of life is no matter how different it is to yours. So as my younger brother moved into his dorm this year as I was leaving mine, I told him to be patient with other people no matter how different they are to you. This is who I believe should attend this school.

I think that if you AT ALL like the ASU Sundevils, dont even think about stepping a foot near Tuscon! This is Wildcat Territory, BEAR DOWN!!

This school is very involved in Greek life, which is good if that is what you're interested in but bad if it is not what you are looking for. If that kind of thing bothers you then you should not attend this school.

A person who struggles to learn in big lecture halls. A lot of the classes are taught in this manner, and it has been a problem for me in the past. More students means less one-on-one time with the professor, less time to ask questions, and more rushing through material.

someone who doesnt want to get a college degree

The University of Arizona is very welcoming to students of all ages and cultural backgrounds. From my experience at this institution, I cannot think of any student that would not feel welcome. As long as a student is willing to both put the time into their studies as well as get involved with other students, anyone has the opportunity to fit in here.

I do not recommend for a person who does not like to get involved to attend the University of Arizona. Everyone at this school is involved one way or another, even if that means just attending athletic events in the ZonaZoo or going to office hours with a teacher. In all honesty, there is a place for everyone at this school. Personally, I am more on the shy side but at Arizona they make you want to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. I do not see a problem with anyone attending the University of Arizona.

A very shy and quiet person with no connections in Tucson shouldn't go to this university.

A person who is a constant procrastinator and lacks motivation should really consider whether they can handle the stress of classes because with these two characteristics they won't survive. Also, a person who's looking to party every night should definitely not attend this schools because getting caught up in the party scene will only interferre with homework and eventually catch up with them. Learning from my own past experience partying will only lead to the destruction of your once good gpa and motivation to exceed.

The UofA is a large school and people who want to be part of a more centralized community should probably attend somewhere else. Some people do not feel comfortable being a part of something big.

The kind of person who wants to do all the time is party and fail their classes. Also not taking full advantage of the scholarships they earned and waste them.

People from all walks of life are encouraged to apply for and attend the University of Arizona. Everyone can benefit from attaining an education here. However, if you are not willing to take advantage of all the opportunities available to you or you do not have any drive, initiative or motivation to make an effort and do your best, you need not apply. As far as your education goes, you will get exactly what you put in.

The University of Arizona is a school that opens opportunities for students, is accepting of all differences, provides safe places, and prides itself on its' spirit. Any student would fit in at the UA, as there are different niches across campus. From a wide variety of clubs offered - a Harry Potter club and ultimate frisbee club included - to on-campus jobs, there is a place for anyone. I would say that if you are a student looking to get through school without being heavily involed on the campus, dont attend the UA.

Introverts should not attend this school or people who do not like crowds. There are a lot of students that attend this school and the classes are fairly big.

Honestly in my opinion, anyone and everyone who can should attend this school. But if I had to say what kind of person shouldn't attend this school I would have to say, someone who isn't ready to have the time of their lifes here in college.

people that just want to go to college to party and not go their for their career goals

I feel that the University of Arizona is a school that has a place for everyone with its many clubs and ways to get involved. The student body is very diverse, quite friendly, open to trying new things and meeting new people, and accepting of every students individuality. This school is very big into school spirit so if you are not excited or ready to be a die-hard wildcat for life, this school may not be the best fit for you.

People who dont set goals for themselves and dont take their academics seriously. This school's social life is very big so it is important that those to attend dont get caught up in the partying life. Arizona pushes for its students to practice academic integrity and if you arent willing to do so then you shouldnt attend.

Those who just want to drink all the time
