University of Arizona Top Questions

After only spending a semester at U of A, the most frustrating thing would be the work load. Education is no joke and if you don't know how to study or prepare yourself, you will do poorly in your classes. However, I've learned to adjust and can't really think of anything frustrating about my school, well besides the football team losing the Holiday Bowl this year to Nebraska, 33-0.

The most frustrating thing about my school is how people drink every Thursday when there are classes the next day.

It's hard to get ahold of the financial aid advisors and the classes fill quickly.

I am unable to get the classes I need when I need them. They don't offer enough.

The lack of variety in classes and trying to find seats in the few classes available in order to graduate. Many of the classes and electives available tended to be filled, which made getting into classes a rough experience.

The greek system seems to only furthers the negative sterotypes of themselves. For the most part, from my experience, they deter from the classroom experience by never demonstrating true academic curiosity or dedication, in addition to asking unrelevant questions which deter from my academic experience.

I was a transfer student and the hardest part was finding my niche. There are no programs for transfer students like there are for incoming students and I find that to be unfortunate.

I would say their are not enough resources here at this school. The food offered here is expensive and limited. And the facilities are always packed and it's hard to find an open computer during the day. But i would say most of all the limited availability of classes. My school plans have been delayed because i wasn't able to take the classes i wanted to when i was able to take them. Another issue is the cost of school. Because of the budget cuts made by the states, tuition was raised twice.

I am rarely frustrated with the University, however, my personal opinion is that the school places too much emphasis on the importance of joining fraternities and sororities, when many experiences can be gained without ever joining one.

The surrounding area is scary. There is not much to do in Tuscon.
