University of Arizona Top Questions

I wish I was aware of the fact that printers on the campus cost catcash to use. Debit cards and other University of Arizona cards will not work.

I wish I had known how difficult it was going to be.

The University of Arizona has many great opportunities to get involved that most incoming freshmen are unaware of. Had I known that this is a very integrated and social campus environment, I would of tried to get much more involved when I first arrived. The main thing new students should take advantage of is the school clubs that specialize in nearly every hobby or interest. Getting involved is crucial to the experience at the University of Arizona, from both an academic and social standpoint.

Be well-informed about financial aid (scholarships, grants), what clubs are available, dorm life, and just the overall set up of Tucson.

There is actually no sense of "I wish I had known ..." before I came to this school. I am completely satisfied with my choice to go here and I don't look back and ponder "what if?" scenarios.

I wish I would have known that some of my friends where attending so that I could have gotten closer to them so when I came here I would have a social life that was a little less work. Nobody tells you how much work it is making friends, how to do so, or how important it is that you do. Without a social life school tends to stress you out a lot more. Because I didn't know this stuff I am now playing catch-up and life is just more stressful.

I wish i would have been more prepared financially before i came to The University of Arizona. Coming from a community college it was quite a shock to see that two university classes amount to more than fulltime tuition at pima.

That the transition from Community College to University wasn't as similar as transitioning from High School to Community College. There's a lot of hoops that one needs to jump through to get to the University and it kinda remains that way once you're there; there's a lot of things you need to do just to get into one activity or the other. It's quite frustrating.

I wish I had known to volenteer more, to keep my GPA high from the start, to apply for more scholarships I'm not eligible for now. Most of all I wish I had worried less and spent more time enjoying my friends and family.

I have not yet come across anything that was not found with research prior to attending this school.
