What's unique about your campus?

The best thing about my university is the quality of learning. The professors truly know what they are teaching, and are truly passionate about it. Also, the University of Arizona is a research based school, so there is a multitude of opportunities to obtain hands on experience about the topics being discussed in lecture. Further, the student life is great. There is always something to do, and the students here are friendly. We all "BEAR DOWN" as a famiy. The location is great, too- can't beat 80 degree weather in January!

The best thing about the University of Arizona is the diversity in people and activites. There is always someone that you can relate to whether it's your backgrounds or your futures that help you connect there is always someone to connect to. Even people that might have conflicting interests can find a spot for all their interests. For example, I am a huge animal lover and I love working with them, but I also really enjoy theatre. These usually have completely different people in them but it doesn't matter, just as long as you are happy.

I think that the best thing about my school is the team spirit we all share. Everyone who in involved with The University of Arizona is proud and confident! They make me want to do my school proud and get the best grades possible. I also like that Tucson is not too big, there are no freeways and there are plenty of affordable off campus living situations. It makes us feel more like a community, never alone and always listend to by our fellow Wildcats.

The variety of personalities at the University of Arizona. The types of people you will meet range from extremely dedicated, over-achievers and passionate cultural activists to social, energetic leaders and laboring, wisened students who come to the school to start fresh. There are numerous ways that students can socialize, help educate themselves, make professional connections through work and research, and build lasting relationships. As a student in a population of 40,000 people, I never saw myself as being a number but I saw the school as a community with people searching for new experiences and self-improvement together.

Have you ever felt different? Well I have my whole life. I am dyslexic, have a severe auditory processing problem, and am ADHD. It was not until I attended University of Arizona where I felt I could call a school my home. University of Arizona's best quality is the SALT center. The SALT center helps specail needs children to be able to succeed, be able to get the support they need, and is a loyal companion by your side. WIthout the SALT center I would have not been able to find who I really and and believe in myself.

Erin

The best thing about the University of Arizona would have to be the enthusiam of the professors. All of the classes that I have taken at the university thus far, have had teachers that were so passionate about the subject that they taught, that I felt I learned more than I would have ever imagined. I would say this is the best thing about the university because to me the value of education is sometimes underestimated, so having amazing professors makes the learning process that much more prestigious.

Karina

I enjoy being independent. I do not have anyone forcing me to go to class or do my homework. Being at the university has forced me to take on those responsibities on my own which in the long run is going to be very beneficial. I have total control over my life and do what I want to. There are some people who take advantage of being independent and learn very quickly that this is the easiest road to failure. Those of us who use it towards our advantage will succeed.

Lacey

The best thing about UA is the amount of campus activities and social events that are available. There are so many clubs on campus that everyone can be involved! Most of the clubs place students in real life situations to prepare them for the real world. For example: the hiking club hikes many of the beautiful mountains that surround UA and ASUA our student body government, allows students to be elected into office and make decisions that benefit the entire college. I am never bored here at the University of Arizona.

Benjamin

That the people are curteous. Holding a door, greeting your section classmates and just being friendly. It's easy for a big university to feel like a giant machine spitting out college grads and people's kindness and friendliness helps decrease that feeling.

Jamie

The best thing at my school in my opinion is how many options we have for classes. There are a lot of different classes for different interests. This makes it easier for me, and I'm sure my peers as well, to focus in school and get better grades. If a class peaks my interest, I will be more likely to pay attention. This is why the amount of options we have are the best things about my school. Go Wildcats!
