I always brag to other people about how amazing all the different programs are at the University of Arizona.

This college is awesome if you want to get into the medical field. They've even got a "community" of students majoring in medical areas in one of the dorms. My neighbors are studying everything from Public Health to Dentistry to Physical Therapy.

I tell them about the free iPads that we get being apart of the honor's college. I also like to brag about our nice facilities and study areas.

Because most of my friends go to schools in colder weather, I always brag about the weather. Even more than that, there is always something happening on campus. I also always take pride in and have to brag about the basketball team, being ranked so high nationally. What is so great about Arizona is that you feel like your on vacation, yet you realize that this is what school is like for you. It is one of the best areas to go to school in with everything there is to do around campus, especially outside.

What I usually like to brag about the most is our fantastic baseball team. I've always been such a big wildcat fan here in Arizona, and to know that we have recently won the National Championship for baseball makes me extremely proud to attend the University of Arizona. This is definitely by far one of the greatest achievements the U of A has had, and so, to brag about it to my friends feels miraculous.

Charles

The University of Arizona is a great institute with excellent opportunities. Offering more than 100 undergraduate majors, there is a major that suites everyones interest. The degrees are prestigious, an example of this being the Eller College of Management.

We are a research one institution, known internationally for the caliber of students and faculty. There will always be research opportunities here, and as long as you are motivated and work hard to get done what needs to be done to get a position in a lab you can always find a job and get the experience you need. The professors are amazing and are more than willing to help you as long as you show them that you are willing to go the distance.

We have some of the best weather on the planet! There is so much to do... sports, music, theater, museums... you name it, we've got it! The professors are fabulous and really seem to enjoy it when the students become engaged and ask questions outside the curriculum.

Lea

I usually tell them how amazing the campus is. I live on campus, and realy I hardly go off, because there is so much to do here! Whether I'm in the mood to work out, studying in a quiet area, get loud and have fun with friends, read any book I want, eat a variety of foods, work out, you name it, there is a place for it on campus. Coming here, I expected to see a bunch of buildings with classrooms, a couple restaurants, and some dorms, but that really is only the beginning. I love this campus!

Daniel

The campus itself is really beautiful.

Kelli

I could brag all day about the University of Arizona, but if I had to choose one thing it would be the dedication of the professors. They are so willing to help you in the courses. Even if it is a big lecture hall, you feel like you are having one on one time with the professors. They also are very flexible with their office hours. They are willing to free up time in their own schedual to help you and make sure you get the grade you want and deserve.

Breauna

I brag about the positive atmosphere that the U of A has to offer. I work best under a happy environment: the student, as well as, the staff members make sure that their advice is constructive and beneficial to the students educational goals. Without the help of my advisors or professors I would have struggled a lot through out my freshman year. So when people ask me what I enjoy most, I brag about the strong relationship the staff has with their students.

Stephanie

The one thing that I say when I talk about being accepted into the University of Arizona is that I am realizing a dream come true.

The University of Arizona has a phenomenal business school and an excellent Greek Life system. There is always something to do on campus whether it be pick up basketball, biking trails, or intramural activities. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here, having made many quality friendships that I know will last a lifetime. Overall this is a great school and I feel both privileged and excited about being able to attend.

Tressa

How beautiful the campus is and how it is in the top ten for Pharmacy School. These were the reasons I choose the University of Arizona so why not brag. Being a top school for the profession I am working towards is always a mouth dropper. Plus, since I grew up near the rival school (ASU) I find that a lot of my friends think that UofA is a dirty place with no academic integrity so when I tell them that it is quite the oppistite I get a little less critisized.

Omar

A university is more than just a place to seek an education. I particularly boast about the community in which my school is located. It has a wonderful mixture of things to do. Many wonderful businesses, a vibrant night life, and quality organizations surround the University of Arizona and the atmosphere makes a student proud to be a wildcat.

Casandra

Our tuition isn't that hight! Compared to many institutions out there, our tuition is pretty low and still provides a well-balanced education. University of Arizona also challenges its students and has so many resources to take advantage of to help them succeed. Some of our programs are ranked pretty high and our instructors have done some impressive things in their careers. One of my Neuroscience instructors has been an influential researcher for the Down Syndrome community, for example.

Sarah

I love the University of Arizona community. Everyone is so friendly and the environment is comfortable. You make a lot of friends by attending this school, which results in a tight, cohesive campus.

Elizabeth

When comparing college experiences, there are usually two things I boast: U of A’s campus size and the weather. The university has a large campus, but not so large that one has to walk a mile just to get to the next class. It’s just the right size. Furthermore, the weather here is amazing. I laugh when I hear my friends complain about snow and reply that while they’re in 20° weather, it’s only 70° over here. I get to wear shorts and tank tops while they’re under five layers of clothing. It’s amazing.

Monica

The University of Arizona has one of the most beautiful landscapes both within campus, and surrounding campus. The Tucson valley is teeming with recreational things to do on the weekends. There are tons or beautiful hiking trails, camping areas, and to aid students in their down-time adventures, most every road around the campus has a bike lane. The campus seems as if it was made for the active student, and it is definitely one of the things I am most grateful for, and boast about.

Danielle

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

Ashlyn

The University of Arizona has so many opportunities to get involved! I brag about being a mining engineering student and how that encompasses going to the student run mine, San Xavier, here in Tucson every Saturday to volunteer nine hours of my time every week. I get to play in the mud and actually get a feel for what I am studying outside of the lectures and books. The opportunities that the University offer are endless from hot dog eating clubs (if that is your thing) to going out and using a jack-leg drill at the mine on weekends!

Carlo

The facilities and technology the campus and school offers to the students, such as multimedia centers, a well distributed Student Union, and the amazing library system.

Gabrielle

UA is a fun school with a lot of activities to participate in. The weather is great year round, so students are outdoors all the time. UA is a big school and it has many different majors to choose from, so most people can find a major that interests them. Attending the sporting events is always fun and access to the recreation center is so nice.

Thomas

When I talk to my friends about my school, I can not stop telling them how amazing it is. I tell them, "Honestly, I can't even explain it to you guys, you have to come and see for yourself!". This school has fantastic weather, teachers, and many opertunitys to better yourself. The students are kind and respectful, and I have learned so much in just a semester!

Leah

There are many of clubs and unique activities. There is lots of school spirit during all sporting events and we really support our wildcats.

Danielle

The teachers are really great here and there is also a great diversity of classes offered. The campus is also quite lovely and the weather is nice. Even in the summer, it is not as hot as it may seem. The professors are very knowledgable and are engaged in class discussion; always challenging the students in their beliefs and what they think they know.

Nick

The University of Arizona has a great engineering program with their college of engineering to help incoming freshman learn more about what it means to be an engineer. There is so much credibility that can be tied to this school with its numerous involvement in projects concerning NASA, urban infrastructure, and medicine. Therefore, the academics and involvement throughout the University of Arizona puts it at the top of bragging rights.

Guadalupe

u of a its a fun university, there's many opportunities to sucess

Logan

School spirit runs rampant throughout every University of Arizona wildcat. It is not suprising to find the campus decked out in red and blue throughout every week leading up to a home football or basketball game. Within this school spirit each studen finds their niche, their home in a sea of pride. Being a part of the ZonaZoo, our fan section, students from all ages have the ability to come together and form one voice powering a nation of wildcats. This sense of passion for our school is what powers not only our athletic teams but our academics as well.

QuynhNhu

What I brag and love most about the University of Arizona, is the overall campus. It is a beautiful campus, all around. It is relaxing to just walk around campus and enjoy the nature and being outdoor. Seeing the old red-brick buildings make you wonder how this place and it's surroundings looked when it was first built, and you sense the influences of the culture and traditions of the old Southwest. Seeing and walking amongst the crowd of college students make you feel a sense of community and belonging to a wonderful, beautiful campus.

Chelsea

Everyone at the university is focused, or at least, seems to be. I don’t feel silly studying on a Friday night in the common room, because everyone is! The library is always packed with people reading books along with the food court. Designated study areas furnished with comfy couches are always being used. I feel comfortable sitting on a couch, or lying down in the grass within a cluster of students just to read a book or finish studying for Biology. The University of Arizona has a fantastic, comfortable, environment for independent study time.

Alison

They are great at increasing their own revenue.
