University of Arizona Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Before I came to the University of Arizona I wish I would have known my way around the campus. For the first couple months of school it would take me about 30 minutes to walk from my house to my classroom. Come to find out, I was the "long way" and was circling the buildings instead of walking straight to my class. By the time I realized there was an easier route, which only took 15 minutes, there were only two weeks left in the semester. On the bright side, I now have a better understanding of my campus.

What I would wished to have know before I came to this school is some of the ways you can get more financial aid so you can afford to come to this school.

How important it is to join healthy communities. Your experience at UA will be largely influenced by your association with groups, all of which are clamoring for your attention. You ought to be very careful, and decide in advance what you're looking for. Don't be a hard case- campuses can be more alienating than big cities.
