University of Arizona Top Questions

I wish I had a better feel for the campus before getting started. I was "different" in my appearance so there were not a lot of people willing to help me when I first came the the school.

I wish I would have known that our governor was going to increase tuition at ridiculous amounts. I also wish I knew JUST how big the campus is when it comes to walking acorss it in just a short 10 minutes!

How expensive and inconvenient on-campus living is, as opposed to off-campus.

Before coming to the University of Arizona, I really wish I had know what it would be like to live on my own, without parents there to lay down rules, without a curfew and without a job. But being at the University of Arizona really helped me discover who I was, without my parent's rules to live with.

The weather is very extreme. It's either too hot or too cold. You have to prepare for that.

Before I came to this school I wish I had known how hard it is to live off campus. Although I have only been in college for a semester I find it hard to want to leave sometimes. I enjoy being on campus and being involved in many activities on campus. So for me the one thing I wish I had known before I attended the University of Arizona is how hard it is to live away from campus.

I wish I had known about the strong fraternity and sorority vibe at this school. There are plenty of opportunities outside of the greek life at this school but it is still a fairly prominent voice on campus.

I would have liked to have known that the department I am enrolled in is different than I expected it to be. It turned out for the best, but knowing that the structure would be different would have been helpful in preparing myself for the workload. I would have also liked to have been better prepared when it came to joining extracurricular activities and explored more of the school's options when it came to using my time for other things besides schoolwork.

Before attending this school I wish I would have known that its kind of difficult to stay on campus because so many people want to stay on campus. But then again thats probably with any college campus so I probably should have known that first hand for myself.

Before I came to the University of Arizona, I wish I had known just how involved Greek life is at the University. Pretty much the entire social life of the University is run by Greek life, and unless you get really involved in campus clubs and organizations, there isn't much of a chance to have a social life short of just joining the expensive Greek life.
