University of Arizona Top Questions

Kids who want to have an inimate class setting should not come here. The campus is so large and full of so many people that it is rare that one is able to form a relationship with a professor. Students who are looking for a school whose priority is education and not money and sports should not come here either.

People who go to school just to study would hate UA because it concentrates so much on research, internships, sports, clubs, and has a generally non-studious environment.

Being from a small town in Iowa, I understand if a person would choose not to attend the University of Arizona. Its size and range of classes and majors may be intimidating. Although this may be the ideal learning environment for some people, others may feel that a structured environment, with fewer options, would be more comfortable. Those who prefer a narrow or pre-selected path would not appreciate the breadth of options available to them at a large university. To those who feel this way, I recommend applying to a smaller college, like a liberal arts or vocational school.

Someone who is set in their ways and is not willing to experience new things.

Someone who is not inclined to accept cultural differences. Also, someone who does not like large schools or has an ultra conservative point of view.

People who cannot stand hot weather (especially around August).

Someone that doesn't mind warm/hot weather, has a lot of school spirit, and wants a good education for a decent price (but beware of tuition raises that occur every year).

Anyone, there is a very diverse group of students and everyone will find a place to fit in and will enjoy their college experience.

Academically focused but also social! There's always a ton of stuff to do here and not everything including getting drunk. Greek Life is big here! But overall the school work is tough and should be your main goal.

Every university isn't for every person. The type of person that wouldn't fit in at University of Arizona is one that isn't dedicated to furthering their education. All of the resources and opportunities are available at UA but the student has to persue them. An unmotivated indivual will not make it very far.
