University of Arizona Top Questions

I don't believe that attending my University should be limited to a certain group of people. I believe that people are meant to work hard for what they want and if someone really wanted to attend this University, they would work hard enough to get here. At the start of high school, my parents informed me that if I wanted to attend college, I would have to find a way to pay for it. Through hard work and dedication I applied for every scholarship I could possibly find and ended up at a 4- year University.

The kinds of people who shouldn't attend this school are those that simply don't like Tucson or the Arizona environment; the university has something for all kinds of students, from social events, to studing abroad and research opportunities, to excellent programs and education in all fields of study.

If you don't like the heat, don't come to the University of Arizona. That being said, the campus provides sprinklers to walk through on your way to class in the morning, but by the time you get to your seat in the classroom, your clothes and hair are bone dry.

The kind of person that should not attend this school if any would probably be someone who is antisocial and not motivated in school. There are some people that come to college just for the social aspect, and others that come for the academics, but if you have no desire for either of those, this school is porbably not for you.

Students who are driven and ready to work hard should attend this school. If a student thinks they can get through college with little work does not fully understand what a unversity lifestyle is like. There is much reading and outside work required to do well in class. It will not all be spoon fed to the student through lectures.

Anyone should attend the U of A, this is such a great school that meets the needs of it's diverse student population

The type of person that should not attend the University of Arizona is someone who is not willing to work at their education. College is the time to explore new things and break out of your shell, yes, but it is also very serious work and should not be taken for granted. Therefore, if you can't take your education seriously, then you should not attend this school.

The University of Arizona is a great place for everyone! In my time here I have learned that school is what you make it. One simply needs to find their "niche" (which is not difficult here, as there are tons of opportunities) and try new things. It is so comforting to know that in a larger school one can be a part of a smaller group of similar students. I strongly believe that any type of student could be successful and enjoy college life at the U of A.

Any person can attend the University of Arizona. There are many different kinds of people here; artsy, sporty, the ones that study a lot, and many more. There are many different ethnicities, and religions here as well. So any type of person could fit in very easily here with almost any group of people, or multiple groups.

If the thought of a small college town centered around a very large university with extremely strong school spirit incites any emotions other than excitement and curiosity, then this probably is not the best college to attend for an individual. Tucson is one of the oldest small towns in the west and proves that with the old architecture, roads and historical sites. If a person could not see themself happy in this kind of environment, is best to look elswhere. In addition to the small town, the University is also 39,000 students strong and classes are typically 100+ large.
