I feel as though it's a good school and has a lot of very helpful people on its campus. However, the dorms would need some renovation. I also feel that there are a lot of buildings that are entirely unused such as one of our huge stadiums that have never been used since I've been here. That space could go towards more dorms or more classrooms.
I am currently in my second semester at the University of Arizona, and I am enjoying it way better than my first semester. A few days into my first semester there was an active shooter on campus. The cops ran right by me yelling at us to get down, I was clueless and in shock on what to do so I followed the crowd and ran, a professor grabbed us, and we hid in a room until it was cleared by authorities. A few months later a professor was killed, and the shooter fled the scene. Again, I was locked down with some other classmates clueless on what to do. Since then, things have calmed down and seem to be back to normal. The downside is that it feels like the campus is right in the middle of the “ghetto”, so you see lots of sketchy stuff going on. The mall always has something going on, the sports are amazing and offer many intramural sports as well. The University of Arizona is a beautiful school with many extra curricula activities to offer, it is a huge school and I love that.
I really enjoyed it when I visited everyone seemed so nice and good to be around and it was just a very nice experience going there and learning about the school! I love how involved the school is in sports and overall can’t wait to go here in the fall time.
It is such a joy to be part of the University of Arizona, especially coming from another state, UofA had become my home. I feel extremely welcome by everyone here at the university. There are many ways to get involved around here which is an amazing opportunity for first-year students since is our first big step into the real world. I can't to experience more of my life and education at the University of Arizona. Beardown.

If I had the ability to talk to myself in the past, I would have quite a few important things to say. First off, you should go to the University of Arizona. Watch your money, and don't waste any on the meal plan. Go to the grocery store instead - it's a lot cheaper. Drop computer science, it's not your thing. Go with business and psychology - that will get you much farther. Joining a fraternity is so worth it for community service and extracurricular activities. I would give myself advise on a few areas such as time-management, social/dating skills, and study techniques to myself in order to help live college life more effectively. As a farewell, I would warn myself about some bad life events to avoid, and wish me the best of luck in college.
The diversity of people at the University of Arizona is huge. There is every type of person you could imagine that create the beautiful tapestry that is Arizona. No matter what religion, race, ethnicity or gender you are, there is someone that will have a similar interest. People are very friendly at the U of Arizona and are often quick to make others feel welcome.
The U of A is a unique blend of social activities, spectacular sporting events, top rated research facilities and a truly beautiful campus.
There are no cafeteria/ dinning halls in dorms. Although there are food courts in the student union, the incovenience of students having to travel away from safety of dorm rooms is not a good idea. Food courts in student union is very convenient for commuters but not for students living in dorms, especially during the night.
A lot of adventages.
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.
The University of Arizona had more of a community feel to it than the rest of the schools I looked into. Being part of a school that truely feels like a community was a very important aspect to me and I believe that it helps new student adjust to being away from home.
The type of person that should attend this school is the type of person that is very determind to do well and go far in their life. This is not a school for slackers and rewards those to help themselves. People that are upbeat, happy and helpful is always a plus. Aside from that it's a very diverse school where everyone is welcomed with open arms. There is so much to do that most people, even with the rarest of interests can find groups and activities to participate in.
This is kind of a silly question. In terms of the business school, though, don't bother applying if you are not fully committed to the program and education. Entrance into Eller requires the passing of a written test, an interview, and a minimum GPA of 3.0.
Dance program is 2nd to Julliard really safe programs around campus I also brag about the aesthetic, the campus is beautiful! The sports games, we have what we call "ZonaZoo", which is our student section at the games which is huge and full of spirit, along with the teams themselves which are generally pretty impressive. the food selection is really good, a lot of healthy choices, along with well known things like Panda Express and Burger King, and an all-you-can-eat buffet that even has sushi Our rec center is really huge and awesome too
When I was a freshman getting general education classes was the most frustrating process ever.
The University of Arizona is best known for a variety of things. It has a strong business college, is well-known for its good football and basketball teams, and is very research-oriented.
coming from chicago, the weather is one of the best things about arizona and it is a much more laid back atmosphere. i do not think there is as much school pride as i thought there would be when i came to college.
i think a lot of the professors at arizona are very good. being in the business school i feel it is very competitive and a good academic school. it is not all about partying.
I met my closest friends in the sorority I joined my sophomore year. People tend to party every weekend for sports events or just general events around campus. Saturday nights that don't involve drinking usually I am either studying or hanging out with my friends watching movies or swimming. Off campus there are so many great restaurants to check out, there are shooting ranges, downtown Tucson has a lot of shops and a very popular night life. The dating scene is pretty large here. The most popular groups on campus would probably be Greek life, intramural sports, and the student government.
people who party hard, don't care abou their education, and have everything paid for by their parents
no they are not accurate as a whole, any school is what you make of it
Greek life is definitely prevalent at Arizona, and sometimes it feels dominant. As a freshman, I remember feeling like I missed out on a lot because I wasn't in a house, because that's where the parties seem to be, and there is such a social network there. The stereotypes are just what you would expect. The guys are all workout-freaks, handsy with girls, alcoholics, and dress West-Coast wasp with high socks, sandals, sperries, board shorts and Ray-Bans. The sorority girls are always decked out in neon shirts for their house, and act very ditzy and promiscuous. The stereotypes are a little overstated, and there are good frat guys and bad frat guys out there. But Arizona definitely gets has a "Greek" feel to it, and the houses take over a lot of what you see. But other than that, there are as many kinds of people as you can imagine. Arizona is a large school (~40,000) for undergrad, and part of the fun is that there are so many "crowds" out there. If you are a stoner, a math nerd, a student government do-good, an athlete, or a hipster, there are the circles out there. Again, it is not like high school where you know everyone's name. It's easy to get lost. Stereotypes are only generalizations. There are a lot of people out there, and if you really want to branch out, you can't judge people by their associations, i.e. Greek house, where they went to high school, etc. The best thing to do is forego thinking in those terms, and just get involved and meet people. It's such a big school that if you make the right connections, you can find the kind of people you want to befriend.
Tucson is kind of a small town, so finding stuff to do can get a little challenging. However, if armed with your trusty ID (legitimacy optional but encouraged) take a nice stroll down 4th avenue. It has some, um, unique clothing stores and tiny restaurants with the BEST BURGERS EVER, and best of all, no fewer than seven bars all within fifteen minutes of each other, and you can end your bar-hopping with a San Francisco-style ride home. No driving necessary!
Wildcat Nation is crazy!!! BEAR DOWN!!!! ZonaZoo!!! everyone in Tucson shows up for game days and the tailgates begin early for football games. The ZonaZoo for a football game is 10,000 students loud and proud! We still have some work to do to get back to being our "Desert Swarm" days but we will get there with our new North Endzone project set to start after this season. Inside McKale its even crazier as "Point GuardU" our nickname when it comes to Basketball shows nothing less than an almost packed arena every game. As we are on track to get our next National Championship banner hung once again in McKale in the next few years.
