University of Arizona Top Questions

I wish I had known more about how research focused this school seems to be. Some professors seem really passionate and involved, but most seem to just not care that much about their classes. I also wish I had known there wasn't much to do on campus. All the clubs and stuff seem to be at night, and there aren't really student recreation lounges (just study ones). If you don't live on campus and you have large chunks of free time during the day, there's not much to do.

In general, I wish I would have known how attending a high education place could be so expensive. I saw the number figures and did not really worry about the way to pay for it. So i would strong stress to anyone that to pay for college is what you really need to put effort and work into.

That you really need to show school colors and need a bike to get around campus. Also it would be a great idea to have an umbrella and water bottle in the summer to survive.

I wish I had known how big some of the classes were going to be. I sometimes feel lost in a sea of hundreds of students, and it makes it a lot harder to connect with the professors.

For me, I wish I had known how to study before entering the University of Arizona.

Advisors are just that, advisors. In highschool the advisors would tell you exactly what you needed to do. Here they merely offer suggestions and the student is responsibe for doing other research to really figure out what will be the best path to graduation.

Before I came to the University of Arizona, I would want to know the layout of the campus so that I wouldn't get lost. The University of Arizona did a phenominal job sending out useful information to the undergraduate students.

I wish I had known that it would be hot all year round.

I wish I had known that college would be more challenging than high school. High school was so easy for me and I found out the hard way that it is difficuly to balance sleep, a social life, and schoolwork.

If I could have known one thing that I did not know prior to attending the University of Arizona I would have liked to have been informed about how small everything was and how, once your tired of life on campus, there isn't much to do outside of the campus. Another thing that would have been beneficial to know is the work load that you receive really makes your time management skills necessary. This would have helped me astronomically in the first semester of school at the University of Arizona.
