Scottie

Academically, our school is known for it's Mars Rover mission and it's Aerospace, Mechanical, Optical, and Computer engineering programs that helped build the rover. The university also excels in business with one of the top programs in the country, and with its medical/nursing program that trains students right on campus at the University Medical Center. Non-acedemically, Arizona is known for its warm weather, chill social atmosphere, and numerous parties. Many students here come to the University just to continue school, get away from parents, and enjoy life. The academic focus gets lost frequently.

Jessica

The University of Arizona is best known for its prideful students, alumni and staff. The school spirit at Arizona has made me feel like I am a part of a unique community of people both similar and different from me. U of A is not so small that I see the same faces all the time and not so big that I never see the same person twice. As a result, a network of people is formed who are all rooting for the same team on the field and in the classroom.

Anthropology, Philosophy

Erica

University of Arizona is best known for its Medical program. U of A's Med program has state of the art technology and is one of the top teaching and learning Med programs in the country. I personally have sat in on lectures from attendants at the UMC and it is amazing to see the technology and the mechanical techniques that go into fixing an error in the human body. The astounding work done at UMC is written up and acknowledged by many across the US, as can be seen with the current tragedy with Governor Giffords.

Chental

The research at the University of Arizona is the best in the country in regards to Science, Medicine and other fields. There is no real support or engagement for students with faculity and professors to really engage, which in a regards the students may be robbed of an instructor that is purly deidcated to the success of their students. The school uses the money on flashy buildings, and useless database systems. The money could be used in other ways to bring more focus onto the students and their success.

The University of Arizona is probably best known for having tons of opportunities for its students. No matter what you are interested in, there will be a way for you to pursue that interest at the U of A. I have been extremely impressed with the variety of programs and clubs that are offered at my school and I think that is one of the main things that draws students.

Michael

The University of Arizona is best known for its tremendous variety of research opportunities. The professors are almost always willing to work with undergraduate students in whatever area of research a student is interested in. Labs are located all throughout the campus giving many students research opportunities they didn't even know they would have before coming to the university. Learning interesting material from a professor is one thing, but discovering something all on your own is a new and exciting challenge.

Bao

My school is good for pumping out scientists and people in the medical field. We also have very good sports.

Adena

My school is admittedly best known as a party school-- but it doesn't have to be! I like to think Arizona is known for Basketball, Football, Greek Life, and the Retailing and Consumer Sciences Program. We are very lucky to have many different corporate businesses interested in our school, our students, and our program, and continually have recruiters coming through to find employees and interns.

Haley

UofA is definitely most known for it's medical school and foodball. Two drastically different things, but important in their own way. One provides knowledge, the other school spirit.

Ali

While so many other, more important aspects of our school are overlooked, the University of Arizona is most known for it's Greek life. A large emphasis is placed on the importance of Greek life here, particulary for incoming freshman to join the rather large community. Also, a hump sum of money is given to greek life organizations on campus.

Kyle

My university -- that is, the University of Arizona -- is pretty well known for Astronomy, as far as I've heard. My college -- the College of Fine Arts (at the UA) -- is an art school that's very concept-focused. What I mean by that is that the College of Fine Arts believes art is about communication, so their focus is to make sure its students communicate concepts or meanings as effectively as possible. Students leave the college with a better understanding of how to translate ideas visually, and how to create and facilitate conversation about a piece.
